GRANVILLE COUNTY RESTORATIVE YOUTH PROGRAMS : GRANVILLE COUNTY TEEN COURT

Teen Court is an alternative system of restorative justice. It is a court where their peers try first time offenders for misdemeanor offenses. Offenders admit guilt or responsibility and are held accountable for their actions. Student volunteers take the roles of clerks, bailiffs, attorneys and jurors.
