DUI Law- If you have been arrested for DUI, you will have to deal with both the criminal justice system and the DMV. Even for a first offense, the penalties can be serious-including license suspension, fines of almost $2,000, mandatory attendance at State or DMV Approved alcohol programs and potential jail time. In addition, a DUI conviction stays on your DMV record for at least 10 years and may result in higher insurance premiums.
Juvenile Law- Juvenile law governs delinquency and other related matters. State statutes define which persons are under the original jurisdiction of the juvenile court. Most states define the upper age of juvenile court jurisdiction in delinquency matters as 17.
