Salt Lake Peer Court

Salt Lake Peer Court, a program of Utah Law Related Education, aims to address the disproportionate involvement of marginalized youth in the juvenile justice system by offering an alternative for minor offenses. This initiative fosters accountability among youth, promotes collaboration between peers and adults, and ultimately seeks to improve neighborhoods and the broader juvenile justice system.

Through youth-led education and collaboration with local community agencies, Salt Lake Peer Court assists youth and their families in strengthening connections to schools and communities while developing valuable skills. The program's overarching goal is to break the cycle of poverty and provide all youth with the opportunity to avoid a lifelong entanglement in the justice system.
