juvenile court

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

juvenile court

Magistrates' court in which a juvenile offender (a young person under the age of 17 who has committed a criminal offence) is tried under UK law. Members of the public are not allowed in a juvenile court and the name of the young person on trial is also not allowed to be disclosed in any report of the proceedings (for example, by newspapers). The procedure in a juvenile court is simpler and less formal than in an adult magistrates' court.
