Temple Alumna Advises in Play about Child Incarceration

Marsha Levick, the deputy director, chief counsel and co-founder of the Juvenile Law Center in Philadelphia, consulted on the play. Levick, a 1976 J.D. alumna and adjunct law professor, has been involved in juvenile law and extreme youth sentencing reform.

“[Weill-Greenberg] was looking for a voice that could place the stories in some legal context,” said Levick, who has been involved in several Supreme Court rulings that have changed the severity of child sentencing. “I think it’s quite moving and quite compelling.”
