______ ____ is a court designated to exercise jurisdiction over juvenile proceedings.

• A. Family Court
• B. Domestic Relations Court
• C. Juvenile Court
• D. Circuit Court

Answer: (C)

Juvenile Court is the court designated to handle cases involving minors and the juvenile justice system. These courts specialize in proceedings like delinquency, dependency and neglect, and other matters affecting children, with procedures focused on rehabilitation, protection, and confidentiality. That tailored focus makes them the appropriate forum for juvenile proceedings, whereas other courts handle adult criminal matters or general civil and family issues but not the specialized juvenile jurisdiction.
