Judge Staci O'Neal and Judge Staci Bevill take you behind the scenes to understand the Youth Court world in Mississippi. Youth Court cases are confidential and the records are sealed so that children and families can be spared of their trauma becoming public or "having a record" so early in life. For these reasons, Youth Court remains a mystery to everyone unless you find yourself in a Youth Court case as an attorney, social worker, party or witness. This podcast aims to dispel the mystery and confusion around Youth Court. It is for educational purposes and is not legal advice.
