Mission of Bermuda Youth Law (BYL)

Bermuda Youth Law (BYL) has been created with the aim of providing a service to Bermuda's young people to help improve their community awareness and their rights and responsibilities under the law.

BYL seeks to increase knowledge about the legal issues facing young people through presentations to community groups, schools, post secondary and law-students, law firms and to professionals working with youth.  BYL also aims to distribute public legal education and information through print and internet resources.

It is the belief of BYL that all children and youth confronting legal issues are entitled to legal advice, information and representation. Consistent with their developing capacities, we believe children and youth should be provided with all available information and choices to help them make informed decisions.
