The acronyms DUI, DWI, OMVI and OVI all refer to the same thing: operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Juvenile Law is an area of the law that deals with the actions and well-being of persons who are not yet adults.

 

In the law a juvenile is defined as a person who is not old enough to be held responsible for criminal acts. In most states andon the federal level, this age threshold is set at 18 years. In Wyoming a juvenile is a person under the age of 19. In some states a juvenile is a person under the age of 17, and in Connecticut, New York, and North Carolina, a juvenile is a personunder the age of 16. These age definitions are significant because they determine whether a young person accused ofcriminal conduct will be charged with a crime in adult court or will be required to appear in juvenile court.
