Question

which specialized court would be the first court to hear a case in which a child broke a state law?
○ traffic court
○ juvenile court
○ federal court
× appellate court

Explanation:

Traffic court handles traffic - related violations, not general cases of children breaking state laws. Federal courts deal with federal law - related cases or cases with federal jurisdiction, while this is a state law case involving a child. Appellate courts review decisions from lower courts, they don't hear cases for the first time. Juvenile courts are specialized courts that handle cases involving minors (children) who have violated the law, so they are the first to hear such a case.

Answer:

B. juvenile court
