TEEN COURT ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING
March 8, 1993 6:00 P.M.
MINUTES
MEMBERS PRESENT: Sue McNutt, Cathy Turner, Buddy Luce, Jason
Miller, Jason Weddel, Ayn Henderson, Jason Boyd
Agenda Item #1 Approval of the Minutes/ December 14
Buddy moved that they be approved. Cathy Turner seconded.
Agenda Item #2 Jury fairness
We discussed 'paving a teen lawyer sit on each jury to help
avoid unfairness in jury sentences. Buddy was against the
idea, because it amounts to jury tampering. The teens felt
that this was a special situation, and that it would be a
good idea to continue it. It was finally decided that we
would table it and see if a good warning from the judge
would solve the problem without having lawyers on the jury.
Item #3 Unserved community service
Sue suggested giving the teens one more week to show that
they were in earnest about serving their sentences. A
letter would be sent out to that effect. Those who did not
comply would be sent back to municipal court. All members
agreed with her recommendation.
Item #4 Women's Club donation
It was agreed that if they asked us how much we wanted, we
should say $1500. This might be used to defray future
printing costs and possibly to set up a scholarship fund for
teen lawyers.
Item#5 Publicity
Sue reported on publicity about Teen Court and about
individual accomplishments of teen lawyers.
Item #6 Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned., Buddy and Sue stayed to hold a
lawyer training session to start some new sophomore lawyers
on their way. The meeting was adjourned by Sue.
Respectfully submitted,
YI Sue McNutt
Teen Court Coordinator
