Bothell Youth Court

Bothell Youth Court Typical cases will include texting while driving, speeding, negligent driving, and others.

The Municipal Court of Bothell and University of Washington Bothell are working with Bothell High School and Secondary Academic Success to create the first-ever youth traffic court in Bothell. The Bothell Youth Court is a delegated court model that empowers local youth to adjudicate real cases of traffic violations committed by their peers.This court will hear cases of drivers aged 16 and 17 have

received traffic tickets. Youth courts nationwide have a promising impact on recidivism in minor offenses. The structure, focused on restorative justice and peer participation, facilitates learning, accountability, and community involvement among all the participants. Youth courts reduce the costs and administrative burdens on courts, benefiting our partners in the city government and enabling more direct and positive interactions between court officials and teens than a more traditional punitive model. Youth courts are truly the “ultimate jury of your peers.”
