*Rendre justice aux enfants* examines the place of children and adolescents within French legal and social institutions. Drawing on Claire Brisset’s experience as an advocate for children’s rights, the book considers how the justice system and welfare services respond to young people whose needs are often mediated through adults. Its focus is on recognizing children as rights-bearing individuals and on evaluating whether existing laws and practices adequately protect them. The work connects questions of legal status, family and social conditions, institutional responsibility, and the everyday realities of teenagers and children in France. Rather than a case narrative, it is best understood as a reflective nonfiction study of child welfare and justice, aimed at readers interested in law and social policy.
