The Juvenile Division of the Circuit Court has jurisdiction over cases involving juveniles.  These cases are divided between delinquency cases (crimes) and dependency cases (neglect/abuse). 

It should be noted that juveniles charged with traffic offenses are subject to the traffic laws governing adults.  Traffic Offenses involving juveniles are therefore not handled in juvenile court.  It is recommended that a review of the Criminal Law portion of this website and specifically the section on Traffic Offenses be undertaken to obtain the appropriate information regarding the laws governing juveniles charged with traffic offenses.
