Answer to Question 1

Late 19th Century

Answer to Question 2

 The role of the juvenile defense attorney is similar to that in the criminal and civil areas.
 Defense attorneys representing children in the juvenile court, playing an active and important part in virtually all stages of the proceedings.
 The defense attorney helps outline the child's position regarding detention hearings and bail, and explores the opportunities for informal adjustment of the case.
 If no adjustment or diversion occurs, the defense attorney represents the child at adjudication, presenting evidence and cross-examining witnesses to see that the child's position is made clear to the court.
 Defense attorneys also play a critical role in the dispositional hearing. They present evidence bearing on the treatment decision and help the court formulate alternative plans for the child's care.
 Defense attorneys pursue any appeals from the trial, represent the child in probation revocation proceedings, and generally protect the child's right to treatment.
