| The Alaska Court System is distributing this poster statewide to publicize the guide. It was designed by Barbara Hood, Communications Counsel for the Alaska Court System. |
Prof. Deb Periman, J.D., chair of the drafting subcommittee for the guide, and Krista Scully, Alaska Bar Association Pro Bono Director, made a recent presentation to the Anchorage Youth Development Coalition on the features of the guide. Prof. Periman also recently spoke to the Anchorage Youth Court about the guide.
The guide has chapters on
- Law Enforcement
- Sex, Drugs & Rock n' Roll
- Entering the Real World
- Cars and Guns
- Family Life
- Schools
- Courts
The goal of the guide is to help young Alaskans understand the law and how it may affect them. It provides general information about many of the legal issues teens and young adults are likely to encounter, and resources for getting more information or assistance.
Art work was selected from entries in the 2011 "Justice For All" art contest sponsored by the Alaska Court System and the Alaska Bar Law Related Education Committee.
