Teen Legal Rights

Gr 9 Up–Arranged in Q&A format within well-focused topical chapters, this new edition succeeds in providing teens with specific, clearly presented, and factual guidance. It takes into account many changes that have occurred in laws related to healthcare and sexual health access; immigration status; responsibilities including driving; educational access; and civil rights related to marriage, police interest, and more that have come into force since the 2015 edition. This volume discusses ongoing political divisiveness that threatens teens’ autonomy, and remote-learning concerns occasioned by COVID-19 that now continue as practice. Sources are arranged after each chapter by subtopic reflecting the chapter’s arrangement, and data tables are clearly sourced with up-to-publishing-date numbers. The content as a whole is respectful and accessible, and includes notes when there is no clear “answer” due to conflicting case law.
