Judicial Corruption in Luzerne County - Selling Kids for Cash (Anatomy of a Public Interest Lawsuit)
Location: S245A
Open To: Students & Faculty
Details:
On October 29, 2009, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court took the unprecedented step of throwing out thousands of juvenile court cases that were tainted by an alleged kickback scheme involving two former Luzerne County judges who are accused of collecting $2.6 million over several years from detention center owners in exchange for sending kids off to detention, often without counsel.
Marsha Levick, Deputy Director and Chief Counsel, Juvenile Law Center, will tell the incredible inside story of how she and Juvenile Law Center attorneys uncovered the scandal, and brought successful legal action to restore justice to thousands of
young people whose lives have been torn apart by this alleged judicial corruption.
