Wylie just established a Teen Court. What is that you ask? It provides students the opportunity to learn more the criminal justice system and gain valuable court experience while serving as teen jurors, prosecuting attorneys or defense attorneys. The program enables teens who have pled guilt or no contest to Class C misdemeanors to opt to have their case tried by peers in Teen Court. Teen attorneys will present evidence to support the case to a municipal judge and teen jurors. Interested students should apply by April 15th and be 15-18 years old, enrolled in school and willing to commit for one school year. Applications available online at wylietexas.gov or contact Juvenile Case Manager at 972-429-8085
