Guiding young people through difficult moments, with care, clarity, and experience.
The Youth Court in Jersey hears criminal cases involving young defendants. It operates differently from adult courts. The court is typically presided over by a Magistrate, supported by two Youth Panel members. The atmosphere is more informal than adult court, but the consequences, including custody can still be very serious.
Criminal proceedings before the Youth Court can be an enormously stressful time, for you and a family. We can help guide you through the process and support you through the case.
At BCR, our team has experience representing young defendants in criminal proceedings. Whether you or your child is facing a police interview or an appearance before the Youth Court, we can help you navigate the process.
