Legal Counsel, Moral Expectations, and Youth with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Economies of Worth in Youth Courts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) is the law that governs the Canadian youth justice system and applies to young people between the ages of twelve and seventeen. The YCJA's Declaration of Principle broadly states that measures taken against young people should consider their "special requirements." Such vague provisions have led young people with mental health issues and intellectual and developmental disabilities to not receive much-needed and legally required accommodations. Based on interviews with 38 legal professionals, we analyze their interpretations of the failure of the youth justice system to accommodate youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities in conflict with the law. We draw from Boltanski and Thevenot's model of situated moral judgment to understand crown attorney and defense counsel's reflections on, and criticisms of, their work environments in relation to the positioning of young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
