teen court

A group of teenagers who (1) hear cases involving juveniles, usu. first-time offenders, who have ac-knowledged their guilt or responsibility, and (2) impose sanctions within a fixed range, usu. involving counseling, community service, or restitution.

• Some local jurisdictions in more than half the states have provided for this type of tribunal. The juvenile offender consents to the assessment of punishment by this jury of peers. The American Bar Association encourages the formation of these kinds of courts.

— Also termed youth court.
