Welcome

The Leon County Teen Court is a diversion program for minors who have been arrested, have admitted guilt to their crime, and have been recommended to participate in Teen Court. By accepting the offer to participate in Teen Court, these teens have chosen to be sentenced by a jury of their peers instead of going through the Leon County Juvenile Justice Court system. Upon successful completion, the defendant will not receive a conviction on his/her record.

All participants in the process are teens which ensures the success of the program because the teens are judged by their peers. This experience fosters positive peer pressure. It also serves as an educational tool for both the defendants and the volunteers. The Teen Court process relies on volunteers to serve as Jurors, Attorneys, Bailiffs, Clerks and Videographers.

We are always in need of new participants. If you would like to volunteer with Teen Court please visit our volunteer page for more information!
