The Michigan Judicial Institute and Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Services will present a webinar on “Understanding the Role of a Juvenile Defense Attorney” Friday, January 24, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.

• The unique role of counsel in delinquency cases.
• What the obligations of counsel are, and how they work to protect their clients’ constitutional rights.
