The Juvenile Law has emerged in recent decades in national and international legislation, including under the Convention of Rights of Children and Adolescents approved by the General Assembly of United Nations on 20 November 1989 and ratified by the law n. 176 of May 27th, 1991.
In particular, the Juvenile Court has jurisdiction in the first instance for criminal cases, civil and administrative procedures concerning children of 18 years old.
In criminal matters, the lawyers from Scarano-Chiara Legal Office are registered in the special board for the defense of minors accused of crimes. Our legal Office is also committed to coach young lawyers in this subject.
In civil matters, the lawyers of Scarano-Chiara Legal Office, in collaboration with social scientists, psychologists, pedagogues – highly specialized in this delicate area – offer advice and advocacy services primarily in the following proceedings:
- Restrictions, forfeiture and reinstatement of parental responsibility.
