The Teen
Court Program is an informal process for first time
non-violent, non-drug related misdemeanor offenders between
the ages of 11-17. Once a child is scheduled for a Teen
Court hearing, said child and parent will receive a letter
from Greene County Juvenile Court with the date and time to
appear in Court.
The child
must admit involvement in the offense in order to
participate in Teen Court (denials are referred to the
formal court). The child will face a jury of his/her peers
and receive a disposition, which will include serving as a
Teen Court member for four (4) sessions. The charge will be
dismissed when all requirements of the disposition have been
completed. |
