Mediation Center of Eastern Carolina/Teen Court

Do you like to argue your point, show that you are the one with the true facts of the matter?  If so, you may have wondered if being a Prosecution or Defense attorney is in your future as a career.  This is your opportunity to try that on.  Additionally, in the courtroom you will be able to meet and speak with adult attorneys acting as judges for us.  We even have actual judges who are able to sit on the bench for our cases!  Improve your public speaking skills as you make new friends with similar interests and become part of a group that is passionate about the people they serve.
Youth who volunteer for Teen Court are given an active role in their community, recive education in the functions and operations of the judicial system, and they work together toward the same goal: helping to restore their peers back into their community with hope, and filled with new skills and ways of thinking about things, that can carry them through to their future. Volunteers are trained as attorneys, clerks, bailiffs, and most important: jury members.
