DHHS Peer Court

Peer Court is a program where student volunteers serve as jurors and assign sanctions to first-time juvenile offenders - who are students from other high schools - that have committed non-violent misdemeanors.  It is a real court, with a judge, probation officer, and attorneys, held at Dana Hills.  Students can just watch or volunteer to be on a jury to recommend conditions of probation to help get kids back on the right track.  Students who attend earn CSF or NHS service hours.
