*In re Gault (1967) elevated the juvenile court process to a national issue:
*"The Gault decision is, by far, the single most important event in the history of juvenile justice"
(Schwartz, 1989, p.99).
*This case changed the adjudication process almost completely into a deliberately adversarial process.
*The Gault decision requires that the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment apply to
proceedings in state juvenile courts, including the right of notice, the right to counsel, the right
against self-incrimination and the right to confront witnesses.
