The Summit County Juvenile Court, in conjunction with the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office, is in the process of forming a Teen, or Peer, Court for Summit County.  This court will consist of teens from Summit County who volunteer to sit as jury members, and to act as the “prosecutor” & “defense attorney” in certain juvenile cases.  These cases will be selected by the Juvenile Court based upon the admission of the delinquent juvenile to the crime, and the willingness of both the juvenile and the victim of the crime to cooperate.  The Teen Court will help to decide what should happen to the juvenile delinquent as a part of his or her court sentence.  The Summit County Prosecutor’s Office is participating not only in the formation of this Teen Court, but also as a trainer and supervisor of the teens selected to act as the “prosecutor” in Teen Court cases.
