My5th

I was reading over an UGA Law alumni letter and came across an article highlighting the 2007 Distinguished Service Scroll Award winner Brenda Jay “B.J.” Bernstein, Esq. She started a nonprofit organization called “My5th”, which is devoted to informing youth under the age of 21 about what laws apply to them.

The site isn’t all inclusive and shouldn’t be used as a definitive legal resource, i.e. you use it instead of a lawyer and/or completely reference it for legal advice, but it does provide important information that parents/adults should discuss with their children and/or family friends that are minors.

Please click HERE to visit the site, and as My5th says, “Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse”, especially when it comes to underage drinking, drug possession, bullying/fighting at school, and consensual underage sex.
