Michigan Children's Law Blog
News and analysis regarding child protection, juvenile delinquency and adoption law in Michigan.
About this site
The idea for this site came from my role as moderator of the Oakland County Bar Association Juvenile Law Brown Bag Series. Developments in child protection, juvenile delinquency and adoption law are occurring almost daily and I did not feel that an annual state of the law seminar was sufficient. I decided to create this site to provide updates in the law throughout the year.-- Melinda N. Deel, Esq. (www.melindadeel.com)

Detroit Free Press Covers Juvenile Mandatory Life Sentences for Murder
Posted on March 1st, 2010 No commentsThe Detroit Free Press published a couple of excellent articles regarding mandatory life sentences for crimes committed by juveniles in Sunday’s (2/28/2010) paper. One article addresses whether children who commit murders should be subjected to mandatory life sentences. You can find the article here (2nd chance for killer kids?). The Free Press also wrote an excellent summary regarding how these laws came into being, the various public policies behind them and events that prompted them. You can find that article here ( State got tough on juvenile trouble-makers in ’80s, ’90s ).
