in re Gault, 387 U.S. 1 (1967),

the U.S. Supreme Court made a landmark decision that held that juveniles accused of crimes in a delinquency proceeding must be afforded many of the same due process rights as adults, such as the right to timely notification of the charges, the right to confront witnesses.
