Be a Part of the Solution!

Pima County Teen Court is a diversion program for minors that have been arrested and have admitted guilt to their crime. These teens choose to be sentenced by a jury of their peers instead of going through the juvenile justice court system. All participants are teens, except for the judge.

Why Teen Court Works


Picture
Teen Court works because teens are judging other teens. Just as peer pressure can be negative, with Teen Court positive peer pressure and parental involvement are key to the program's success!

Because Teen Court is a diversion program, upon successful completion, the defendant will not receive a conviction on his/her record.
