Young People Who Challenged the Law—and Changed
Your Life
Thomas A. Jacobs, J.D.
Because 15-year-old Gerry Gault fought for
his rights, every teenager in the United States. has specific
rights when arrested and charged with a crime. Because
14-year-old Deborah Weisman challenged her school's policy
regarding prayer at graduation ceremonies, teens know they can
take a stand on issues that matter to them. This fascinating
book describes precedent-setting cases that reveal the power of
social action and prove that teens can change the law. Judge

myths and mysteries, and shows that the law is by and for the
people-including teens.
