Resources
Welcome to the Juvenile Protection Toolbox – a collection of resources organized by topic. This toolbox contains informational materials, including practice guides and links to external resources, that the CJI encourages its partners to incorporate into their practice. Resources are updated as needs arise, so please consider bookmarking this tab as opposed to downloading and saving individual resources.
These resources are intended to provide a brief background about certain legal topics. The information presented is intended for limited educational purposes only and is not comprehensive. Each topic is complex and changes frequently. Consult with an attorney for legal advice.
More resources are coming soon. In the meantime, please contact CJI staff (link to “contact us” tab) with questions.
