Jake J. Go Away: Challenging Release Conditions ordered under c. 276, § 87
February 1, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Children charged with crimes in Massachusetts are often subjected to onerous pretrial conditions pursuant to G.L. c. 276, § 87, which permits judges to impose any pretrial condition of release if the youth consents to its imposition. These conditions are monitored by probation officers, who receive school reports, demand urine tests for drug screens, talk to parents and DCF workers about behaviors at home, and bring forth violation proceedings subjecting youth to DYS detention for up to 90 days—all before a youth has been adjudicated delinquent or pleaded to sufficient facts. And, often, a youth’s “consent” to such conditions is coerced by the threat of detention.
This training will explore how to strategically challenge conditions imposed under § 87 in Juvenile Courts. Materials will include a sample motion with accompanying affidavits, a Quick Reference Guide and a sample 211/3.
