The Florida Juvenile Court System

Florida’s juvenile court system is designed for defendants under 18, but it can still be a confusing and intimidating place. Here are some key things to know:

  • Juveniles are usually not entitled to a jury trial.
  • Judges decide the outcome of most cases.
  • Juveniles can be charged as adults for serious offenses such as aggravated assault, armed robbery, and sexual assault.
  • A conviction in juvenile court can result in penalties such as fines, community service, and even incarceration in a detention facility.
