Juvenile Courts Please respond to the following:

• From the e-Activity, choose two (2) types of trial waivers that are currently used in your state’s (Tennessee) juvenile court system. Compare the differences and similarities in the method(s) in which the court uses such waivers. Justify your response.
• From the e-Activity, suppose a thirteen (13) year old individual previously charged with repeated shoplifting offenses is now facing stiffer sentencing. Given this individual’s history, debate whether or not you believe he / she can contest any of the waivers that your state juvenile court may use. Provide a rationale for your response.
