Where are juvenile cases heard in Scott County?

Juvenile matters in Scott County are handled in the juvenile session of Scott County District Court in Georgetown. Juvenile proceedings are confidential and are treated differently from adult criminal court, with an emphasis on rehabilitation.

Will my child have a public record?

Juvenile court records are generally confidential and are not open to the public in the way adult criminal records are. Many juvenile records can also be expunged. Protecting your child’s future record is a central goal of the defense.

Can a juvenile case be moved to adult court?

In certain serious cases, Kentucky law allows a juvenile to be transferred to adult court. Because the consequences are far more severe, having an attorney involved early is critical to protecting your child.

What Makes Juvenile Cases Different

Confidentiality. Juvenile records are generally not public, which helps protect your child’s future opportunities.
Rehabilitation over punishment. The juvenile system emphasizes counseling, diversion, and programs designed to get young people back on track.
The stakes are still real. Serious charges can, in some cases, be transferred to adult court, and a juvenile adjudication can affect school and future employment. Early, skilled representation matters.
