Attorneys in the unit also litigate certification proceedings and jury trials in the adult court system, if the child is certified to stand trial as an adult. The Youth Advocacy Unit was created in 1997 in response to a new trend in juvenile legislation putting more emphasis on punishment than on rehabilitation. To more effectively implement the United States Supreme Court ruling that juveniles are entitled to all constitutional protections, the Missouri State Public Defender System created a Youth Advocacy Unit. The unit employs a mix of new and experienced attorneys as well as interns. In addition to the training available to all attorneys in the Trial Division, attorneys in the Youth Advocacy Units also participate in a variety of national training opportunities that specifically address the special issues involved in juvenile defense. The unit also employs investigators to examine the circumstances surrounding the criminal charge. Staff disposition specialists conduct social investigations and locate available resources to help the client with treatment needs. They have masters degrees in social work and counseling and act as experts for court, testifying about treatment needs and alternatives on behalf of our clients.

Breathe Easy Youth Advocacy Youth Involvement: A Powerful Resource Youth are often viewed as problems or victims in society, not as competent citizens capable of meaningful participation. But young people all over Maine are working to resist tobacco, and our communities are recognizing them as a huge potential resource. Youth thrive when they have a connection with a project over the long term. They reach out to younger youth through mentoring, generate marketing ideas, and solve problems. They have the energy, and often the schedules, that lead to strong community work, and they can exert a major influence over peers and adults. Positive Change Through Action Youth are making a big impact, both in Maine and nationally. They are getting involved in policy changes, and they are developing relationships with tobacco retailers to encourage them to reduce the amount of tobacco in their stores. They are exposing the lies of the tobacco companies, supporting those who want to quit, and helping peers resist the pressures to smoke. Maine youth participate in Peer Leadership Conferences, the Youth Advocacy Program, and the Annual Maine Anti-Tobacco Youth Summit, which gathers hundreds of youth from across the state and provides them with tools, skills and resources so they can play a leading role in making their communities healthier.
