Why is there no jury in juvenile domestic relations court cases?
I believe that this is due to the fact that adults have a right to a jury of their peers. For juveniles to have a jury of their peers through this due process right, then their jury would be composed of juveniles. If I was 16, I wouldn't want a 13 year old deciding my case.Another View: Not really enough information has been given in the question about WHAT KIND of "domestic relation" problem is being referred to. So-called Domestic Relations cases (unless they fall under a criminal law statute) customarily fall under the purview of the Family Division of the Civil Court, and the US Constitutional right to a jury trial in civil cases does not extend to the states (except when a state court is enforcing a federally created right, which codifies the right to trial by jury within it). In addition, US society has endeavored to remove as many trappings of the "adult" court system from juveniles lives as possible, not to mention that juveniles are not "legally competent" to bring court action on their own. If you are feeling that you are being abused, you should report the circumstances to a trusted adult or to CPS, or law enforcement so that they may take action on your behalf.
