New Restraints Policy

One of the topics to be featured at the Suffolk Law School Juvenile Justice Conference on April 30  is the use of restraints  (i.e. shackles) on children when they are in court – and the new policy, which became effective March 1, limiting their use. While we have requested an official copy of the new policy from the Juvenile Court and the Trial Court, we have not yet received it. However, we have received a copy from other sources.

The policy is available as a pdf here:  New Restraints Policy
