"I got arrested! NOW WHAT?"--a poster created by the teenage participants in the Center for Court Innovation's Youth Justice Board--is featured in a front page story in the New York Law Journal. The poster will be distributed to 7- to 15-year-olds at their first post-arrest interview with New York City probation officers.
