Youth Court Seeks Students

With the start of the school year comes the start of a new session for Southampton Town’s Youth Court. The program is a way for high school students to earn community service credits and build their college résumé, while learning about the criminal justice system. High schoolers work together to hold real trials for juvenile offenders, and a jury decides on a sentence for the offender. Cases heard in youth court range from trespassing, driving without a license, and under-age drinking to harassment, possession, and theft.
