Trial by Peers allows non-violent, first-time offenders entering the juvenile justice system, to earn a clean second chance by completing this special program. After referral and completion to Trials by Peers, these kids, ages 12-18, will not have a criminal record in the system, but will have the support needed to help them make better choices. It is a program about changing the future before it goes wrong. The Clark County Law Foundation (CCLF), on the flip side, also educates motivated youth ages 12-18 to represent these juveniles in a real courtroom, in front of a real judge, while working under licensed attorney volunteers. These motivated youth are required to attend a 3 month summer “law school” and pass a mini bar to qualify as prosecution and defense counselors representing the state and defendants.
The CCLF is hosting its first annual Community Champions 2016 Gala on February 27th, 2016 which will include a raffle that will help raise money to support this nonprofit organization. Sunbuggy is proud to donate a Sunbuggy adventure experience for the raffle to help out the event!
