The U.S. Supreme Court case that I have selected for this week’s assignment is the case of In re Gault (1967). This case was called an ambitious case in the history of juvenile cases as it included several noteworthy rulings. The juvenile justice system has also developed on the basis of these cases as the rulings pronounced in such cases add in the form of laws to the juvenile system.
