As Nichol explained in an email introducing the report: Although fines and fees are less pervasive in the state’s juvenile system than in criminal court, our experts told us that they are regularly assessed, often in the form of attorney’s fees. Because most kids in juvenile court are poor, these additional fees represent a real burden for families that are already financially fragile. Additionally, kids who are prosecuted as adults are charged the full range of court costs, fines and fees that adult defendants have to pay.
