Teen Court
The Dublin – Laurens County Teen Court is a program where youth who have committed first time misdemeanor crimes are sentenced through a court system of their peers. Defense and prosecution attorneys, clerks, bailiffs, and jurors are volunteers from both middle and high schools. Adult attorneys and judges in the community volunteer to trail all youth volunteers.

Teen Court meets once a month for judicial sessions. Teen Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys will meet one day prior to a scheduled judicial session in order to consult with potential clients.
