    • Abstract:
      The purpose of this guidebook is to give Minnesota legislators an overview of all laws affecting young people in order to have a reference aid on current state policies toward youth. State statutes and cases that provide rights, responsibilities, and protections for young people under age 18 are described. Part 1 of this guide, "The Laws," consists of substantive laws organized by the following subject categories: economic protection; educational rights and responsibilities; family relations; health and social services; unlawful acts by youths; unlawful acts against youths; and miscellaneous age provisions. Part 2, "The Courts," explains the courts and procedures that deal with youths in civil adult court, criminal adult court, and juvenile court. Citations to Minnesota Statutes and Rules are provided throughout the text. A glossary of legal terms is included at the beginning of the guidebook. (TS)
