Judge Tom

AsktheJudge.info is an educational site for and about teens and the law. In other words, we help answer teens’ questions concerning their legal rights when they are going through a particular situation. We are not a homework help site. We applaud you for attempting to study for the test, but it sounds like you may need to put a little more time into this class by doing some research. The general answer to most of your questions is to find a local attorney who specializes in the type of case/matter at issue. For example, for cases involving minors being busted for truancy, underage consumption, buying cigarettes, etc., the minor (and his/her parents) could try consulting with a local juvenile law attorney or criminal defense attorney. Good luck studying for your test.
