Abstract

The idea of producing a Special Issue about the impact that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has had on youth justice and the legal system for the Bond Law Review emanated from a highly successful online conference held on the 28th of November 2020 by the ADHD Foundation [https://adhdfoundation.org.au] entitled “ADHD, Youth Justice, and the Law: The Jury is No Longer Out”. The Australian ADHD Foundation, under the leadership of Ms Joy Toll OAM and Ms Dympna Brbich, among others, sought to promote greater inter-disciplinary discourse concerning the manner and means by which youth who are labouring under ADHD are managed and processed in the youth justice system.
