Teen Volunteers (10-18 years old)

Jury – The jury decides what constructive consequence to give the defendant based on the evidence presented during the hearing. The jury's decision must be a 2/3 majority vote.

Clerk/Bailiff – The Clerk and Bailiff supervises the setup of the courtroom. They call the courtroom to order, call the case, make sure that all the paperwork is collected for each case, and swears in the jury and the defendant and all witnesses.

Teen Attorney – At Teen Court the defendant has already admitted guilt. The job of the Teen Attorneys is not to prove that the defendant is guilty or innocent, but rather to explain the reasons why the defendant committed the offense. The Attorneys present this information to the jury through questioning, and closing arguments.
