In most jurisdiction juveniles are tried in a separate "juvenile court" unless they commit a serious crime that has the court elevate their offender status to that of an 'adult.' Then the juvenile is tried in adult court.
They'll at least be sent to juvenile hall. In some jurisdictions, it is possible for them to be tried as an adult.
Juvenile cases refers to cases heard in juvenile court. Court jurisdictions vary, but most states give Juvenile Court jurisdiction over minors charged with crimes, and certain custody disputes, particularly those where children are removed from their parents' by the state.Another View: The first response is correct only insofar as the handling of juvenile criminal cases is concerned.HOWEVER - the second part of the answer may only be partially correct. Perhaps In SOME states the juvenile division of court may be empowered to hear custody cases, yet in many others, these types of cases are heard in the Family Division of Civil Court.
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.
