Peer-led hearings
Youth serve as attorneys, judges, bailiffs, and clerks.
Peer-led court hearings are the central service. Anchorage Youth Court is a restorative justice diversion program for people under 18 accused of breaking the law, where trained local youth serve as attorneys, judges, bailiffs, and clerks. The program provides a way to resolve legal problems without a formal juvenile record, while helping participants take accountability to their community, peers, and family. Students in grades 7-12 learn about the law through legal education, membership in the Anchorage Youth Court Bar Association, and participation in hearings. Court outcomes can include community work service as redress for harm. Client classes and community engagement sites are also part of its offerings. The organization is located at 838 West 4th Avenue in Anchorage, Alaska.
