About
Children's defense advocacy - The council serves as the specialized juvenile public defender in Mecklenburg County. Through a contract with the North Carolina Office of Indigent Defense Services, which provides funding for roughly 65% of the cost of the program, the council's attorneys represent all children charged with crimes in juvenile delinquency court. In addition to performing the public defender role in juvenile court, the council represents every child that is facing confinement in a mental health institution. As express interest attorneys, the council provides the voice of the child and fights to ensure that the child's constitutional and statutory rights are protected. The council is the only specialized juvenile public defender in North Carolina.
