What is the difference between adult and juvenile court?
Juvenile court is very different than normal adult court. For starters, juveniles are not actually accused of crimes. They are found to be delinquent. This is a civil status, not a criminal prosecution. Normally all files and the actual courtroom are closed to the public (whereas most other courts are public record.) Procedurally, the trial follows a similar pattern (opening statements, state's case, defense's case, closing) and both sides are held to the same rules of evidence. However, the judge may play a more active role than in an adult criminal trial and juries are rarely used. If a juvenile is found to be delinquent (not guilty) he/she is sentenced by the judge. Typically, the court has wide discretion and a variety of options available, rather than just confinement. The court may order that the juvenile be placed in an alternative program where he/she would be taught life skills and earn their high school diploma or GED. The court typically has a variety of programs and classes to choose from. Confinement periods are typically very short and used only in the most serious cases.Once a juvenile reaches the age of adulthood, his/her juvenile record is or can be sealed. The juvenile record generally cannot be used against him/her in a later criminal charge.
