If we were living in the best of all possible worlds, every child would be born into a loving family, with two parents who were able to care for the material as well as the emotional needs of the child. But such is not the case, and currently half a million children and youth are in out-of-home placement funded by the government (Newsweek. December 12, 1994:28). We as a collective society must determine what is best for those children who have not been given the best by the circumstances of their birth. Who then is most able to determine what is best for any given child, and how does society's needs (especially economic ones) enter into the decision making?1

While prior studies of juvenile court outcomes have examined the impact of legal representation on out-of-home placement versus community sanctions, previous research has not fully explored the variation within sanctions that youth receive. The current study examines the influence of type of legal representation (public defender or private attorney) when predicting juvenile adjudications and dispositions. Using a sample of delinquent referrals from a Northeast state between 2009 and 2014, results showed that youth do receive different outcomes (e.g., probation, drug and alcohol treatment, accountability-oriented dispositions, etc.) based on the type of legal representation. The findings have important implications for juvenile court processing related to how courtroom actors impact case outcomes.
