I am 16 I am in the process of going to court for felony charges... befor all of this happen my plan was to go to college an major in law.. note I want to b an juvenile defense lawyer.I've been told that that dream is out the window.. I would lik to continue my education. Do colleges accept people with felonies? I have an assult on a law enforcement officer.. what are some suggstion of fields that I can go into?

First are they taking you to court as an adult or as a juv ( family law court)

Do you have an attorney, have they looked at a plea deal down to a misdemeanor perhaps ?

But you can go to college, but areas in law, in medical field ( doctor, nurses) will all be out.

I'm being tried as an juv in juv court.. yea I have a lawyer an he had a plea agree meant with the commonwealth until they told the officer about it an the officer was against it because she clams she has headaches now..

Hi, lynnlynn!

Are you in the United States?

Thanks!

Yes I am in the u.s.

If this is in family court, the records will be sealed when you turn 18. So you will still have the same options in college

Ooo see I thought felonies don't go off u record we your 18?

I'm going to start another thread about the felony conviction records of juveniles that have been sealed, lynnlynn.

Thanks!

I can't say what happens I your area, but here all juv records are sealed. In fact while the "term" felony is used, family court does not treat them the same as regular adult court.

New thread has been started.
