Adult and Juvenile Law – What Is the Difference?
Juveniles face serious risks when accused of a misdemeanor or felony offense. In juvenile court, there is no jury. The fate of the accused lies in the hands of one judge.
A minor can be determined delinquent for offenses that would be legal if committed by an adult, in addition to criminal offenses. The standard for conviction is lower than in adult court, and in some cases, the court can hold offenders in detention or extend probation until they are 21 years old.
There are some benefits to having a case tried in juvenile court. The juvenile system is designed to protect and rehabilitate the youthful offender rather than to punish. Certain sentencing options are available in juvenile court, which are not available to those charged as adults.
In some cases, defendants can also benefit from automatic eligibility for expungement and record sealing.
