John Jones is fifteen years old and will turn sixteen on June 1, 2023. He changed public school districts mid-year due to his parents’ divorce. While his attendance was spotty at his old school, he maintained adequate grades and the school had no substantial concerns. Upon his parents’ divorce, John began living with his mother in a new town and started attending his current school in December 2022. Since then, he has missed twenty five days of school, of which only two were excused absences for illness. When John does attend school, he often complains of panic attacks and asks his teachers if he can go to the nurse’s office. When the school nurse has phoned John’s mother or father, they often don’t return his calls or they tell him to have John “tough it out” for the rest of the day. Ms. Miller, who is the school’s vice principal and the supervisor of attendance, has repeatedly tried to work with the Jones family with only limited success. Ms. Miller has noticed at times that John’s mother smells of alcohol and appeared to be under the influence. John’s father has been belligerent and uncooperative with Ms. Miller. Ms. Miller tried to engage the family in the school’s truancy prevention program, but neither of John’s parents participated. John met with the school’s guidance counselor and said that his parents don’t speak to one another so that he will sometimes tell his mother that he’s going to spend the night at his father’s house, when he actually goes to stay with various friends. He said when he is with a couple of these friends, they will often go to parking lots and try to open car doors to take things. John said that he has not taken anything big, just loose change and sometimes jewelry or whatever is in the car. He told the guidance counselor that he uses marijuana to calm his anxiety but he feels worse at school and he’ll have panic attacks. He said that he feels better when he’s not in school so he’ll often leave his mother’s house in the morning but not get on the bus. He’ll wait for his mother to leave the house and he’ll let himself back in and go back to bed or play videogames. John said that it’s easy for him to sneak out of the house because his mother is usually drunk or hungover and doesn’t notice. John reports hating to visit his father on the weekends because he “blows up” at the smallest things but that most of the time his father isn’t there so it’s not always that bad. On March 9, 2023, Ms. Miller filed a petition in the Juvenile Court alleging John to be a child requiring assistance for the reasons of being habitually truant. Judge Lamont found probable cause at the preliminary hearing that John required assistance, accepted the petition, and scheduled a fact finding hearing. While John's parents appeared for the preliminary hearing, they did not appear for the fact finding hearing. John's court appointed attorney moved to dismiss the petition on the ground that the assistant principal was not an attorney and by filing and pursuing the petition she was engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. Judge Gordon denied the motion and held the fact finding hearing. At the fact finding hearing, Ms. Miller and the school guidance counselor testified regarding what John had told them about sneaking out of the house and staying with friends, using marijuana, and stealing. John was visibly nervous during his testimony. He said he was behind in his schoolwork which made him even more anxious and that his parents were mad at him. John said he has never seen a doctor for these symptoms, which have worsened since his parents’ divorce. He feels like his parents never listen to him and that his mother drinks a lot and his father tells him to “grow up.” Judge Gordon who conducted the fact finding hearing has asked you to write a memorandum addressing the following issues: May Ms. Miller, on behalf of the school district, pursue this CRA case where she is not an attorney? Why or why not? Provided it was appropriate for Ms. Miller to pursue the case, is John a child requiring assistance? Why or why not? If the court finds that John is a child requiring assistance, what may the court order to address John’s issues? If the court finds that John is not a child requiring assistance, are there any other actions that could be taken to address the family’s issues? Closing Date/Time: 2023-08-25

John Jones is fifteen years old and will turn sixteen on June 1, 2023. He changed public school districts mid-year due to his parents’ divorce. While his attendance was spotty at his old school, he maintained adequate grades and the school had no substantial concerns. Upon his parents’ divorce, John began living with his mother in a new town and started attending his current school in December 2022. Since then, he has missed twenty five days of school, of which only two were excused absences for illness. When John does attend school, he often complains of panic attacks and asks his teachers if he can go to the nurse’s office. When the school nurse has phoned John’s mother or father, they often don’t return his calls or they tell him to have John “tough it out” for the rest of the day. Ms. Miller, who is the school’s vice principal and the supervisor of attendance, has repeatedly tried to work with the Jones family with only limited success. Ms. Miller has noticed at times that John’s mother smells of alcohol and appeared to be under the influence. John’s father has been belligerent and uncooperative with Ms. Miller. Ms. Miller tried to engage the family in the school’s truancy prevention program, but neither of John’s parents participated. John met with the school’s guidance counselor and said that his parents don’t speak to one another so that he will sometimes tell his mother that he’s going to spend the night at his father’s house, when he actually goes to stay with various friends. He said when he is with a couple of these friends, they will often go to parking lots and try to open car doors to take things. John said that he has not taken anything big, just loose change and sometimes jewelry or whatever is in the car. He told the guidance counselor that he uses marijuana to calm his anxiety but he feels worse at school and he’ll have panic attacks. He said that he feels better when he’s not in school so he’ll often leave his mother’s house in the morning but not get on the bus. He’ll wait for his mother to leave the house and he’ll let himself back in and go back to bed or play videogames. John said that it’s easy for him to sneak out of the house because his mother is usually drunk or hungover and doesn’t notice. John reports hating to visit his father on the weekends because he “blows up” at the smallest things but that most of the time his father isn’t there so it’s not always that bad. On March 9, 2023, Ms. Miller filed a petition in the Juvenile Court alleging John to be a child requiring assistance for the reasons of being habitually truant. Judge Lamont found probable cause at the preliminary hearing that John required assistance, accepted the petition, and scheduled a fact finding hearing. While John's parents appeared for the preliminary hearing, they did not appear for the fact finding hearing. John's court appointed attorney moved to dismiss the petition on the ground that the assistant principal was not an attorney and by filing and pursuing the petition she was engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. Judge Gordon denied the motion and held the fact finding hearing. At the fact finding hearing, Ms. Miller and the school guidance counselor testified regarding what John had told them about sneaking out of the house and staying with friends, using marijuana, and stealing. John was visibly nervous during his testimony. He said he was behind in his schoolwork which made him even more anxious and that his parents were mad at him. John said he has never seen a doctor for these symptoms, which have worsened since his parents’ divorce. He feels like his parents never listen to him and that his mother drinks a lot and his father tells him to “grow up.” Judge Gordon who conducted the fact finding hearing has asked you to write a memorandum addressing the following issues: May Ms. Miller, on behalf of the school district, pursue this CRA case where she is not an attorney? Why or why not? Provided it was appropriate for Ms. Miller to pursue the case, is John a child requiring assistance? Why or why not? If the court finds that John is a child requiring assistance, what may the court order to address John’s issues? If the court finds that John is not a child requiring assistance, are there any other actions that could be taken to address the family’s issues? Closing Date/Time: 2023-08-25
