It makes them think, hope-fuljabout what they did and why they wont dout again. er y, Youth court teens serve as judges, clerks, bailiffs and secretaries, and Neal said the proceedings should operate like a genuine court system and be respected in the same way. They were chosen during a rigorous screening process of applications, meetings and interviews. Once selected, they attended training classes to discuss human behaviors and how to make punishments fit the crimes. Required community service hours and writing apology notes or reports are among the unique sentences youth court members will hand down for offenses such as tobacco violations or truancy. Two-hocourt sessions will be held each Wednesday evening in the city offices. Juvenile offenders may choose youth court as an alternative to the regular juvenile court system, said City Prosecutor Kristina Neal, but doing so forces them to admit guilt. She said youth court officials focus on offenders motivations and determine what kind of disposition would help correct the problem or teach the person a lesson.
