Juvenile law applies to young children and teenagers. Minors accused of breaking the law are processed under a juvenile justice system, completely separate from the one used for adults. It is the job of a Juvenile Defense Attorney to help minors & their parents understand the juvenile justice system and present their defense in juvenile court.
