Abstract
This study investigated whether court‐experienced juveniles differ from court‐experienced adults in their understanding of the defense counsel role and their trust in attorneys. Court‐experienced juveniles and young adults, ages 12 to 20, were compared on measures of trust, attitudes toward authority, understanding about the role of defense counsel, trial‐related knowledge, and the Trust in My Lawyer Scale. The findings showed that court‐related knowledge is associated with both level of intellectual functioning and age and that court‐related misunderstandings are associated with mistrust in attorneys. The findings did not support the assertion that there are significant differences between juveniles and young adults in their trust of their attorneys. Results regarding parental involvement, attorney characteristics, and interaction effects of race and intellectual functioning in relation to trust are also discussed.
