Teens Take It To Court

Because 15-year-old Gerry Gault fought for his rights, every teenageer in the United States has specific rights when arrested and charged with a crime.  This fascinating book describes precedent-setting cases that reveal the power of social action proving that teens can change the law.  Judge Jacobs familiarizes young readers with our legal system, dispels myths and mysteries, and shows that the law is by and for the people-including teens.
