BRIEFSR e - e v o l u t i o nOn September 27, 2006 NSBS President Phil Star andProfessional Educator Claudia Chender MacLellan spent anafternoon with the “Re-Evolution Crew”, a group of four ‘highrisk/high potential’ youth who are currently engaged in a yearlongpersonal development and youth leadership program inYarmouth. Each participant was invited to share a story of whenthey had come into contact with the Justice system, and anyquestions that they had reflecting on their experiences. Thediscussion was excellent and everyone involved came awayfrom the session energized and engaged.The participants were very appreciative of Mr. Star’sinvolvement. They remarked that they felt that they had reallybeen listened to, and looked forward to sharing their newknowledge and understanding with their peers. They thankedthe Society for giving them the chance to share their experienceand to learn from someone as knowledgeable as Mr. Star.“The Re-Ev Crew got a huge amount out of it in terms of whatthey could pass onto other youth, but also a shift in how theysee law and lawyers after meeting you two... perhaps this isthe real change that can take place in meetings like this – tore-create the trust between the youth and the people involved inthe legal system.” – Tim Merry, Program Director, Re-EvolutionThis was the second in the Uncommon Law series of events. Thenext event will be a larger conference in Yarmouth in April 2007for lawyers, judges and youth at risk.
