Teens Take It To Court: Young People Who Challenged The Law--And Changed Your Life by Judge Tom Jacobs (Adjunct Professor at the Arizona State University School of Social Work) is an informative and thought provoking collection of cases brought to court by young people who have historically taken the judicial initiative and changed the course of American history by doing so. Introducing its readers to a constructive and progressive understanding of the laws and the judicial system, Teens Take It To Court addresses such issues as to whether or not parents have the right to give police permission to search a minor's personal belongings over the child's objection, if parents retain the right to prevent their daughter from getting an abortion, if prayer at a school function is voluntary, or if wearing gang symbols or colors should be illegal. An invaluable addition to school and community library collections, Teens Take It To Court is very highly recommended for interested parents and children, and for those searching for a reference when taking action in court for youth-related cases.
