Pictures for a Juvenile Court Calendar
Star ratings are turned off for a bit.
Disclaimer Disclaimer: There’s no statement of the obvious here, since anyone who would actually believe these graphics are a creation of the State of Utah or of Utah County wouldn’t grasp a disclaimer if there was one. They’re here so a handful of colleagues can look at them (I only made a few calendars, since they're a little expensive). Beside, these graphics might not even have anything to do with life at the Fourth District Juvenile Court. If you want to know what really happens in Utah’s Fourth District Juvenile Court, look at the How to Manipulate Juvenile Prosecutors web page.
As the 2010 holidays approached, some people asked about whether I’d be making more copies of the calendar that I gave out as a white elephant gift for the 2009 Christmas party and at the 2009 raffle. Here is what I’ll do: any colleague can click right here and you will go to a web page with links to a Word and a PDF version of the 2011 calendar, and you can download either file and print it off for personal use. Because I don’t care to make the files available to just anyone, you’ll need a username and password to get to that page. I posted the username and password on my office doors in December; if you missed it, ask me for the username and password. If you want a calendar for some following year, perhaps you could open the Word file and copy and paste the graphics into a template for a more recent year’s calendar.
Here is an initiative that could truly change the world:
This is a little song inspired by a couple of juvenile defense attorneys. If you’d like, you can use the lyrics to sing along with the provided melody:
- Lyrics for “Come, Thou Fount of Bogus Motions”
- Instrumental recording of the music for “Come, Thou Fount of Bogus Motions”
Negotiating plea agreements is a difficult task to get right, but thanks to evidence based research into best practices, and rigorous application of scientific analysis, it is now possible to computerize the process. This tool assesses and provides the appropriate plea bargain for any given juvenile:
The “Juvenile Court Plea Bargain Calculator” page uses a mix of HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript that some web browsers can't yet display. If yours can’t, try Safari (for OSX, not iOS) or Firefox or Opera or Chrome.
