Teen and Peer Courts rely on student and adult volunteers to provide an alternative justice system which encourages youth to take responsibility for their actions and correct their mistakes.
The youth offender is defended and prosecuted by peers, student volunteers. A jury of peers then imposes constructive sentencing which may include restitution, community service, or counseling. Adult volunteers act as mentors and instruct the student volunteers in courtroom etiquette.
