Abstract
Argues that the jurisprudence of juvenile transfer should go a step further down the comparative road paved by the Court and insist that juvenile transfer proceedings be subject to the same scrutiny exercised over capital punishment proceedings. Further advocates that while Eighth Amendment jurisprudence need not be literally incorporated into juvenile transfer proceedings, it should be adopted through the Due Process Clause.
