The outcome of In re Gault (1967) was a landmark Supreme Court decision that established the right to due process for juveniles in delinquency proceedings. The Court ruled that minors are entitled to the same constitutional protections as adults, including the right to legal counsel, the right to confront witnesses, and the right to remain silent. This case fundamentally changed the juvenile justice system, ensuring that youths are afforded fair legal treatment and that their rights are protected.
