Answer to Question 1

 The Gault decision was significant not only because of the procedural reforms it initiated but also because of its far-reaching impact throughout the entire juvenile justice system.
 In re Gault instilled in juvenile proceedings the development of due process standards at the pretrial, trial, and posttrial stages of the juvenile process.
 While recognizing the history and development of the juvenile court, it sought to accommodate the motives of rehabilitation and treatment with children's rights.
 It recognized the principle of fundamental fairness of the law for children as well as for adults.
 Judged in the context of today's juvenile justice system, In re Gault redefined the relationships among juveniles, their parents, and the state. It remains the single most significant constitutional case in the area of juvenile justice.
 The Gault decision reshaped the constitutional and philosophical nature of the juvenile court system and, with the addition of legal representation, made it more similar to the adult system.
 Student views will vary.
