About the Author:
Adam is originally from East Lansing, Michigan and has recently completed his tenure as an Article Selection Editor on the RLSC Board. He first witnessed the atrocities of the juvenile justice system while volunteering as a tutor in after-school programs in New Orleans during college. Adam returned to New Orleans during his first summer in law school to intern with Juvenile Regional Services (now the Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights). This work further exposed him to the myriad problems facing youth who are dragged into the criminal legal system. At the same time, Adam found a mentor in JRS’s tireless executive director, Josh Perry (’07). Returning to NYU, Adam sought out and continued to study with renowned juvenile defenders, and long-time clinical faculty, Mary Guggenheim and Randy Hertz. These mentors, and more, provided both the inspiration and the academic grounding for Adam’s forthcoming publication, Juvenile Remorselessness: An unconstitutional sentencing consideration. Adam is energized to pursue a career in public defense and is thrilled to be publishing with RLSC.
