What is Community Service Restitution (CSR)?
In lieu of a fine, a Teen Court defendant must agree to perform Community Service Restitution (CSR) hours as determined by the jury. CSR hours must be performed at a non profit organization in the Georgetown area. Approval may be requested prior to performing the hours. Immediately after their penalty has been determined, the defendant will be given a log sheet on which all CSR hours must be recorde. In addition to CSR hours, juries assign mandatory jury terms. One complete night of jury duty is considered one jury term. All jurors must stay for the entire court session. Defendants have 90 days in which to complete these hours. The original log sheet must be returned to the court after all hours and jury terms are completed. Anyone failing to complete his or her obligation within the prescribed 90 days will be referred back to the originating court for sentencing. This may result in a conviction and payment of the original fine. Successful completion of assigned CSR hours and Jury Term
