That depends on the nature of the case and the players involved.  Every case & thus every courtroom enviornment is different.

Um, because they are NOT adults.\n\nSociety reserves some privileges and some punishments for adults because they are deemed to be mature enough to make decisions. A juvenile is not mature enough to fully comprehend the consequences of some actions, so they are prosecuted differently.

Biggest difference:  no right to jury trial.  \nAlso focus is on "rehabilitation" vs. "punishment."  \nIn California, no matter the crime, the longest a juvenile can be incarcerated is until age 25.  \nJuvenile court proceedings are confidential and not open to the public.

That court does not publish its dockets online. Call the court clerk.

Children have no rights. A child, under a JD Petition doesn't go to what a court considers jail. They are also not housed with criminals or adults. i saw a case in Indiana regariding the same when a child broke probabation.\n\nSome children in some states are tried as adults, some at different ages. Some of them have been executed in Texas when they became 18 or older.\n\nUsually children must meet a test, ours is a three pronged one, at least in this state , before a judge, prior to being bound over as an adult. The Superior Court does not have to accept the judges decision, the decision is reversed and the child is transfered back to it's origibal jurisdiction..\n\nIf they are tried as an adult, they have all the remedys available to them that adults do, including a jury trial. i don't see how anyone can say they can participate in their defense adequately when they are still children, but they do it anyway. Adult courts are not geared for kids.\n\nI am not looking up case law as it is too difficult. You can look at any JD law in any state and most of the cites are going to be at the end of the section. Each state is different.

sounds like a homework question..  the biggest difference in the systems is terminology.. instead of a juvenile being called a criminal they are called delinquent, they attend hearings... so on. another big difference is the fact that most juvenile hearings aren't open to the public, unlike adult criminal trials. the records of the juveniles are usually confidential, and all can be sealed. The juvenile justice system is based off of the idea that juveniles can be rehabilitated. Most programs, and any possible incarceration, are majorly composed of rehabilitation efforts, and this is all an attempt to make the juvenile a productive member of society.

i'm not sure, but ask if there's a youth court or teen court system you can go through. those are systems where teenagers learn about the judicial system by serving as jurors, lawyers, bailiffs, and sometimes even judges. typically if you go through teen court yo end up doing community service and the offense doesn't stay on your record...\nmy one preachy moment: drink if ya wanna drink, but don't ever ever EVER drink and drive. it's moronic and inexcusable.

incarceration, probation or dismissal with conditions.  Just remember that juveniles have no legal rights, other than shelter, food and clothing.

What state do you live in? Honestly you should not have to file anything because all juvenile records should be sealed.  You should speak to the county clerk's office at the courthouse where you live.

Are you looking for expungement?  That depends on if it is a juvenile or adult record you are talking about, in most states anyway.  Juvenile records are generally sealed but they can be a factor in certain circumstances.  Talk to an attorney or to the parole board of your state.  If that doesn't work or if it's too expensive, call a court clerk.  Sometimes they know enough to guide you in the right direction.  Some states also have advocates working in the court system that can help you find whatever resources you need.
