COMPLETE THIS CLAIM FORM IF YOU ARE A CLASS MEMBER AND WISH TO RECEIVE A SETTLEMENT PAYMENT
Los Angeles County has agreed to pay $30 Million into a settlement fund. Part of this money will be used to attorneys’ fees and costs, the costs of administration, and related expenses. All the rest of this money will be divided among the class members based on how many days were spent in a Juvenile Hall or in a Juvenile Camp, with substantially more value placed on Hall days because the Hall conditions were worse.
