Five years ago, we published a landmark, 50-state study, which revealed that, in most states, juvenile judges aren’t required to have training in adolescent development or juvenile justice best practices.    Since then, the CSG Justice Center has worked with the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and courts across the country to equip judges with the latest research and tools so they can make effective, developmentally appropriate, and evidence-based decisions that shape the lives of young people. 👉 Learn how courts are putting research into practice through our “Courting Judicial Excellence” program: https://hubs.la/Q04mvHyf0
