El Dorado County Teen Court is recruiting students for the spring Teen Court program.

The program operates in Placerville and South Lake Tahoe for grades 8-12. After completing mandatory orientation training, teens serve as personnel in real court cases in which a minor has committed an offense, admitted to that offense and chosen to be judged for sentencing by their peers.  

There will be an orientation training Jan. 19 from 5-7pm at El Dorado County Superior Court, located at 1354 Johnson Blvd. in South Lake Tahoe. Arrive by 4:45pm for check-in. Courtroom attire is required.

Teen Court hearings in South Lake Tahoe will be February through April on scheduled Thursday nights. Students will receive a calendar of hearing dates at orientation training.
