Supreme Court of New Jersey June 29, 1994 (State ex rel. J.L.A.)

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

STEIN, J.

The narrow issue presented by this appeal is whether the Code of Juvenile Justice, N.J.S.A 2A:4A-20 to -91 (Juvenile Code), should be construed to authorize the sentencing of juveniles who have committed two or more acts of delinquency to consecutive *372terms of incarceration. The Juvenile Code is silent on the subject of consecutive sentences.
