Juvenile Lifers and the Possibility of Parole
Wed, Nov 14, 12:30 to 1:50pm, Marriott, Salon C, Marquis LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
This thematic panel explores the different dimensions of the decision-making process for parole for juvenile lifers. Following the decisions in Miller v. Alabama (2012) and Montgomery v. Louisiana (2016), several states have changed their legal landscape on parole. The papers on this panel explore three aspects: the role of offense seriousness; criteria and processes of eligibility of parole, specifically as they relate to evidence of maturity and rehabilitation and the factors that affect the decision to grant or deny parole.
