Juvenile Law Center

Juvenile Law Center was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1975 by four Temple University Beasley School of Law graduates: Robert Schwartz, Marsha Levick, Judith Chomsky, and Philip Margolis.^[1][2]

Juvenile Law Center originally operated as a walk-in legal clinic for young people in Philadelphia with legal problems. It grew from a walk-in clinic to a statewide organization and has since grown to a national public interest law firm for children, filing its first brief in the United States Supreme Court in 1983.^[3][4]

Juvenile Law Center played a role in exposing the Luzerne County, Pennsylvania "kids-for-cash" scandal.^[5]
