JUVENILE CRIMINAL LAW
The criminal law for minors is a separate specialization within juvenile law. The court cases are brought before a special judge for juvenile criminal cases. Only lawyers who meet strict specialization criteria are allowed to represent minors in criminal cases.
Ms Bouwman is active since 2004 as a lawyer in criminal cases concerning minors. She represents minors throughout the entire country, at all the different courts. Ms Bouwman finds it very important that the legal aspects of the case, and what can be expected, are as clear and understandable as possible for the minor involved. It is very drastic and upsetting for a minor to become involved in a criminal investigation. The rights of minors are protected by several international instruments, such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Ms Bouwman fights for the legal position and rights of her juvenile clients.
