Abstract
In this book, Lani Blackman gives lawyers practical information about representing children (those under 12) and young people (those between 12 and 18). Representing Children and Young People is a detailed practice guide organised into three parts: aspects of the lawyer/client relationship (Part 1), case management (Part 2), and aspects of specific jurisdictions criminal law, family law, care and protection, and civil and administrative law (Part 3). Clearly organised and lucidly written, this book is an invaluable resource primarily for lawyers who practice in representing children and young people, and for practitioners who regularly deal with children and young people involved in the legal system in different capacities, for example, as witnesses, as victims and as people affected by the outcome of clients’ cases. However, due to its wide range of concerns, this book is also aimed at other professionals who deal with children who have become involved in the legal system.
Highlights
Blackman displays broad scholarship in explaining the reasons for the special types of communication needed when dealing with children, with sections within this chapter devoted to linguistics, developmental psychology and interviewing techniques
