In 1996 Adolescent Consultation Services (ACS) began publishing Kids and the Law: A User's Guide to the Court System, a book co-authored by Rebecca Pries, ACS executive director, and Carol Rosensweig, an attorney who represents court-involved children. This bi-lingual guide to the court system is currently being used by families of court-involved youth, schools, colleges, probation departments, lawyers representing court-involved youth, hospitals, libraries, and a broad spectrum of professionals who work with children and families. This book answers, in a simple question and answer format with bi-lingual facing pages, questions related to juvenile court involvement in Massachusetts.
In
2002 ACS updated the third Spanish/English edition of the book and published
the first Khmer/English edition in response to the growing need in the Cambodian
community.
The
volumes can be purchased for $10.00 each. For communities or individuals serving
a variety of populations, we also offer a multicultural set (one Spanish/English
book and one Khmer/English book) for $15.00. Other volume discounts are available.
