Juvenile sex offense defense

Proceedings involving a young person operate under a different framework from adult criminal court, with different terminology, different dispositions and different rules about records. They also carry consequences that can follow a person into adulthood, which makes early advice more consequential than the informal tone of some proceedings suggests.

What this section covers

Pages in this section address how juvenile proceedings work, the circumstances in which a matter may be transferred to adult court, and the categories of conduct that most often bring young people into these proceedings. They address process and consequences from a defense standpoint.
