State officials who run California's juvenile justice system are unconstitutionally denying prompt hearings and lawyers to youthful offenders arrested on alleged parole violations, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Sacramento federal court.

"We are developing plans that address the issues raised in the lawsuit," Ludeman said. But, she stressed, "We have not acknowledged that our current practices are unconstitutional."

Not quite my favorite quote of all time...but definitely up there on the scale of absurdity. Remediation without admission of wrongdoing...hehehe. God, I love the law.
