Camden County Teen Court is in full swing and has heard their first two court cases with Judge Barnes officiating. Teen court provides a hands-on learning experience for student volunteers to be part of our justice system. It also provides an alternative system of justice where juvenile offenders are given the option to plead their case before a jury of trained peer volunteers who can provide constructive sentencing.
