they wanted to separate juveniles from adult offenders......
I feel that that answer is not entirely true the way it's worded. An Adult offender (defendant), has a Childrens Services of abuse, neglect etc.. decided in Juvenile Court before a Judge or Magistrate. For example a Jr6 hearing or disposition hearing.
It is not only Juvenile offenders (ex: truancy, criminal activity under a 18 dependant on the crime and 17 dependant on the state) who are the defendents. therfore they are not seperating Juvenile from Adult offenders. I would like to hear more on this if any one will add with more knowledge

What is the difference in district court and circuit court in Jefferson County Alabama?
In Alabama, Circuit Courts have more general jurisdiction over all types of cases, while District Courts have more limited jurisdiction. Practically, this means that in criminal matters, Circuit Courts hear the more serious cases like felonies, while District Courts generally hear the misdemeanors and ordinance violations. For civil cases, Circuit Courts generally handle matters where the amount in dispute is over $10,000. Circuit Courts and District Courts share jurisdiction over cases where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000 but more than $3,000; District Courts almost always hear the cases where the amount in dispute is less than $3,000 (small claims). In juvenile matters, the courts share jurisdiction but will operate as separate juvenile courts and maintain separate dockets. Circuit courts almost always hear domestic relations cases.
