Tonight I was the Judge at Teen Court. Teen Court is where teens get Class C misdemeanors (like shoplifting, assault, speeding, etc.) and decide to put their fate in the hands of their peers. They come to court and plead guilty. They either reach a plea bargain for community service hours, or they have a trial and let a jury of their peers determine their sentence. If they have a trial, then there is a prosecuting teen attorneys and a defense teen attorneys.
So tonight I ran the trials and accepted the pleas and read off the punishments. It was pretty fun.
