In the US, I can't think of one that comes immediately to mind. As a matter of fact, juveniles actually enjoy more, and better, protection in the court process than adults do, and are treated more leniently besides.In McKeiver v. Pennsylvania, (1971) the Court ruled the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial does not extend to juvenile court proceedings, because the intent of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate, and a jury trial creates a more adversarial environment that can undermine that goal.In 1971, no states offered jury trials in juvenile court. As of 2009, ten states grant the right of juveniles to jury trials, and another eleven states allow jury trials under limited circumstances.Often, US Supreme Court decisions follow trends in state courts. At some point in the not-too-distant future, the Court may extend 6th Amendment protection to children and teens.

In 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty after a moratorium, but it ruled that executing juveniles was unconstitutional. Consequently, no juveniles were sentenced to death that year. Prior to this ruling, several juveniles had been sentenced to death, but the focus shifted significantly after the Supreme Court's decision. As a result, the death penalty for those under 18 was effectively banned in subsequent years.
