Huntington Youth Court Mock Trial Open House

Huntington Youth Court Mock Trial Open House – Join us as we celebrate National Youth Justice Action! Come see the volunteer youth practice Restorative Justice Principals every week for youthful offenders in the Town of Huntington.

The Huntington Youth Court Program is run for youth by youth. Youth offenders up to 18 who have committed their first misdemeanor crime are given the opportunity to have their case heard by a jury of their peers. In addition, Youth Court accepts referrals of offenders who commit a violation against their school’s Code of Conduct. In a trial setting, volunteer youth perform the roles of prosecuting and defending attorney, judge, bailiff, and jury. A jury then hands down an appropriate sentence to the offender.

The program will begin promptly at 5:30 PM so please arrive earlier to get seated.
