This past Tuesday, the Newark Youth Court hosted its annual Law Day event sponsored by the Newark Municipal Court. Youth Court members moderated a panel which included The Honorable Chief Judge Williams, Yeneisha Warrick, Esq , Municipal Prosecutor, Charlene McGregor, Esq. Municipal Prosecutor, Stephanie Range, Esq. Municipal Prosecutor and Alan Kamel, Esq, Municipal Public Defender. The panelist were asked questions related to this year's Law Day theme, "Separation of Powers: Framework for Freedom". Following the panel, three attorneys led individual breakout sessions that focused on the branches of government and how they influence juvenile justice and youth related issues. The three topics were, Gun Violence Initiative- LegislativeSchool to Prison Pipeline- Judicial, and Juvenile Justice in New Jersey – Executive. Overall the event was a huge success and we received great feedback from the Youth Court members. This year's Law Day event gave members a chance to really connect with the legal professionals in attendance through questions and discussions on issues that resonated with them. 


Huge thanks to everyone who stopped bye to wish the kids good luck and watch them in action! :)
