STATE OF NEW JERSEY IN THE INTEREST OF A.C.
A-5308-10T4
N.J.S.A. 2A:4A:40, the provision of the Code of Juvenile
Justice that denies the right to a jury trial in adjudications
under the Juvenile Code, is constitutional. The application of
Megan's Law to juvenile sex offenders does not give rise to a
jury trial right for juveniles accused of sex offenses. Whether
to modify Megan's Law, in light of current information about its
impact on juvenile offenders, is a policy decision for the
Legislature.
