Peer Court Mentoring - a podcast by Judge Jim Gray (Ret.)

Truly one of the most important things a person or a society can do is to help mentor our young people. And one effective way is the Peer Court program, administered by the Constitutional Rights Foundation of Orange County. This weeks guest, Eoin Kreditor, Esq., is a long time active supporter of CRFOCs Peer Court. This program, with the assistance of the County Probation Department and various police departments, brings real juvenile delinquency cases to 18 different high schools each school year, and empanels high school jurors who then ask probing questions both to the subject and the subjects parents about why this offense occurred, and what the subjects want their future lives to be like. Often statements like You show me your friends, and I will show you your future, and Do you think I want my company to hire a thief? are heard in the sessions. Bottom line: this program is truly effective in mentoring our young people, and the low recidivism rates prove it.
