Biggest difference: no right to jury trial.
Also focus is on "rehabilitation" vs. "punishment."
In California, no matter the crime, the longest a juvenile can be incarcerated is until age 25.
Juvenile court proceedings are confidential and not open to the public.

Juvenile courts handle cases committed by minors under the age of 18. Adult courts handle cases committed by adults over the age of 18.

it somewhat is a humorous quirk interior the regulations yet all drivers get to stand the comparable outcomes for driving offenses, apart from criminal offenses. i'm not from California, whether curiously that greater advantageous court docket on your case ability which you get to bypass to the "universal" court docket as a substitute of a "juvenile" court docket. maximum places use the "juvenile" court docket in basic terms for offenses like theft, tagging, or attack for juveniles. in case you had dedicated a criminal driving offense, like attempting to elude the officer, then you definately'll in all probability be despatched to "juvenile" court docket. in basic terms guessing as i'm not in California. the only different reason i'm able to think of of is that the officer in basic terms made a mistake and marked the incorrect field.
