Minor Case

A minor case is a legal matter involving someone under the age of 18, such as a juvenile. These cases often relate to issues like underage drinking, truancy, or minor theft. Unlike adult cases, juvenile cases focus more on rehabilitation than punishment, and they are handled in special juvenile courts. The goal is to guide the minor toward responsible behavior and provide appropriate support, rather than impose harsh penalties. In some situations, minors might also be involved in civil cases, like custody or guardianship issues, but generally, minor cases refer to juvenile criminal or delinquency matters.
