Juvenile Justice Project Contract Suspended

The Advocate reports that the Juvenile Justice Project has had its contract suspended by the state. The project provides lawyers for juveniles whose adjudications are up for periodic review. The Governor's Executive Counsel stated that the review of the contract is not politically motivated, but has been instituted to make sure that the money provided by the state is actually going to indigent defense and not other programs.
