Teen Court:

Woden ISD Police Department and Nacogdoches Teen Court has teamed up to offer many opportunities for youth volunteers. Teen attorneys attend training sessions conducted by local practicing attorneys where they learn the basics of trial proceedings. Other youths serve as court staff and sit on jury panels. Participation in court proceedings offers a great opportunity for teens to actively participate in genuine juvenile proceedings.
