1. Teen Court is a volunteer program which allows juvenile misdemeanor offenders
an alternative to the criminal justice system while allowing them also to assume responsibility
for their own actions by involvement in the judicial process and community services in order that
their offenses will not be recorded; bringing juvenile offenders to a jury of their peers and to the
community for constructive punishment will provide the youths with an understanding of the
judicial system and a realization of their roles in the community.
2. The community will benefit from this interaction in that, through Teen Court, the
community is afforded a unique opportunity to become involved in the education of juvenile
offenders, as well as juvenile volunteers. Teens, through their active involvement, are afforded a
way to learn how our system of justice works and to realize their roles in the community.
