In CHIPS and delinquency cases in
Minnesota, youths age 10 years and older have the right to a lawyer. Youth’s
counsel’s role is to advocate for the stated interests of each youth and to
maintain as “normal” a client-lawyer relationship “as far as reasonably
possible.” Sometimes, in pursuit of a youth’s stated goals or decisions, the
actions of youth’s counsel can at first appear unreasonable, unwise, and not in
the youth’s “best interests.” In this CLE, learn from a youth advocate why
fidelity to a youth’s stated interests as opposed to the youth’s best interests
is so necessary and important in CHIPS and delinquency
proceedings.
