Jacqueline Newsome’s work with youth is rooted in respect, advocacy, and empowerment. Having defended hundreds of young people in juvenile court, Jackie uses a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach to legal defense and youth mentorship.

- A Trauma-Informed Approach to Youth Advocacy: Recognizing the impact of trauma, Jacqueline’s defense strategies prioritize healing, dignity, and resilience.

- Legal Defense for Youth at Every Stage: We ensure youth are represented fairly and compassionately at every point in the juvenile justice system.

- Mentorship, Leadership, and Rights Education: Beyond the courtroom, we mentor youth and provide know-your-rights training, leadership development, and civic engagement opportunities.

- Believing in Young People's Potential: Every young person has the capacity for growth, leadership, and transformation — our work is about nurturing that potential.
