The student jurors, volunteers all, pass sentence only on young people who have admitted guilt and signed contracts with the district attorney's office agreeing to abide by whatever penalty their peers impose. The juries handle such crimes as assault, possession of dangerous weapons or marijuana-all but the most serious. Typical sentences include unpaid community service, obeying tight curfews, avoiding the city's high...
