Getting the Most Out of the
Deliberation Process! 

Training jurors and judge panelists how to deliberate is an essential component to every youth court program, however, it is not always feasible to conduct onsite training seminars for new volunteer jurors or panelists. Therefore, these online lessons were created by the American Probation and Parole Association/Council of State Governments, with funding from OJJDP, to educate youth court volunteers, especially new jurors and judge panelists, on issues they should consider to help them determine a fair, constructive, and restorative disposition for youth court defendants or respondents.

Important Note: Before a youth volunteer can take the lesson(s), he/she must obtain a volunteer access code from his/her youth court coordinator. For a youth court coordinator to receive a volunteer access code, he/she must register for an Administrative Access Area on the “Getting the Most Out of the Deliberation Process” main page. This Administrative Access Area will allow youth court coordinators to know which of their volunteers have registered to take the lesson(s) and view their lesson results.
