"Experienced lawyers lead the way"
From Metropolitan Corporate Counsel, an interview with Jean Berman, executive director of the International Senior Lawyers Project:
We've done a number of projects involving assisting criminal defense lawyers for the poor. In Eastern Europe we sent lawyers to Bulgaria, Lithuania, Mongolia and Ukraine to help set up the first public defender offices there. We also work with an organization called International Bridges to Justice ("IBJ"), which trains defense lawyers in China. We sent a career public defender from Minnesota to work with IBJ for three months in the fall of 2008 to help train lawyers working in the juvenile justice system...
I'm rapidly approaching senior status myself. Fortunately, I'm very immature for my age.

Sounds like an interesting program. I was not sure if China even had a separate juvenile justice system which seems to be a problem in some countries where kids are thrown together with adults in the same system.
this program should be emulated all over the world to protect minor offenders
