Jury trials for juveniles are permitted in the United States. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a trial by jury in criminal cases, and this right extends to juveniles in the same way as adults. However, the specific rules and procedures surrounding jury trials for juveniles may vary by state.
The number of jurors in a jury can vary depending on the jurisdiction and type of trial. Typically, a jury consists of 12 jurors for criminal trials and can range from 6 to 12 for civil trials.

In the US, I can't think of one that comes immediately to mind. As a matter of fact, juveniles actually enjoy more, and better, protection in the court process than adults do, and are treated more leniently besides.In McKeiver v. Pennsylvania, (1971) the Court ruled the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial does not extend to juvenile court proceedings, because the intent of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate, and a jury trial creates a more adversarial environment that can undermine that goal.In 1971, no states offered jury trials in juvenile court. As of 2009, ten states grant the right of juveniles to jury trials, and another eleven states allow jury trials under limited circumstances.Often, US Supreme Court decisions follow trends in state courts. At some point in the not-too-distant future, the Court may extend 6th Amendment protection to children and teens.
