In some jurisdictions the court system has established a "Teen Court" in which teens (aided -but NOT directed- by real-life prosecutors and defense attorneys) hear cases and matters referred to them by the Juvenile Court System that are not serious enough to warrant the involvement of the juvenile offender in the formal criminal justice system. The cases usually involve first-time offenses such as; school misconduct - threats against others- bullying - truancy - very minor shoplifting cases -etc.) They are conducted exactly as a 'real' trial would be, with teens filling all the court positions (judge, prosecutor, defense attorney, and jury). They hear the accused's case and render a decision. The sentences imposed are (from a teen's point-of-view) restrictive but not punitive, and are fully enforceable (sort of like probation). Failure to comply with The Teen Court's decision could cause the juvenile to be referred back to formal Juvenile Court which could result in more severe penalties.
