 Unlike the adult criminal justice system, the goal of the juvenile
delinquency court system, is to gear all proceedings toward rehabilitation
rather than punishment. Consequently, although it is preferable
to
avoid getting into trouble with the law, it is in many ways better
to get into trouble as a juvenile than as an adult. Many crimes,
if
committed by an adult, would carry penalties of jail or prison. Conversely,
the maximum term of incarceration for most juvenile offenders is
21
days. We will assist in all areas including arrest,
detention hearing,
arraignment,
diversion programs,
trial, sentencing,
probation violation
and commitment
programs.
