Sorry for the short notice, but when I was checking some things out on the web today, I came across a great program set for Wednesday, July 27, from 2 to 3 p.m. EDT. Two Yale law professors, Tom Tyler and Tracey Meares, will present the program, entitled “The Importance of Enhancing Procedural Justice in Interactions with Juveniles.”
I’ve already signed up because every time I’ve heard Tom Tyler speak about procedural justice (what I typically call procedural fairness when talking about court proceedings), I’ve learned something new. After all, he has been the leading researcher in this area over the past three decades, and he also has a feel for making things practical and understandable. I haven’t heard Tracey Meares, but she has been doing interesting work in the areas of police legitimacy, communities, and legal policy; I’m sure the interaction between Tyler and Meares will make the program a good one.
The official program description says that they will “describe recent research demonstrating the particular salience of procedural justice to juveniles, a group that has frequent contact with the criminal justice system and whose orientation toward the law is still being established. Tyler and Meares will discuss how criminal justice actors can use the insights of this research to improve their legitimacy in the eyes of young people in their communities.”
Just click the link to go to the program description on the Yale Law School website. From there, hit the link to “webinar” to register. There is no charge for the webinar.–Steve Leben
Procedural Fairness For Courts and Judges 
Was the webinar on procedural fairness and juveniles recorded? Is the link to the recording available? Members of our juvenile court are interested.
I will have to check on that. I’ll post a reply here by next week. Thanks for the question and for using our website!
Nancy, at one point, I believe the seminar was posted online at the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the Justice Department (ojjdp.gov). Apparently, they had a section of their website called an “online university” where this sort of programming was available. It doesn’t appear there now. Presumably you could request the video from OJJDP, but I have found a transcript online at https://www.nttac.org/media/trainingCenter/1776/ProceduralJusticeTranscript_508c_081216_CN.pdf. Hope that helps.
