JUNIOR legal eagles have come up with a user-friendly guide on legal issues affecting teenagers.
Members of Shildon Centre Youth Club have produced a pamphlet, the Millennium Low Down, which covers the law regarding bullying, drugs, smoking, alcohol and vandalism.
PC Martin Slater was invited to The Cells, their weekly meeting held at a former police cell, to speak about the legal issues.
The group of 13 and 14-year-olds then wrote, edited and illustrated the pamphlet, which is available from the centre or Shildon Police. To obtain a copy call the centre on (01388) 777948 or Shildon Police on (01388) 772606
