age of judgment

age of judgment
a) The age at which a child is presumed to be able to judge the difference between right and wrong

The reason of the distinction between the contracts of minors under the age of 18 and the contracts of minors over 18 years is this, that a minor under the age of 18 is presumed not to have arrived at an age of judgment and discretion sufficient to protect him from the schemes of those who might take advantage of his infancy to defraud him ; and all persons who enter into a contract with a minor under the age of 18 must do so at the peril of having such a contract absolutely disowned and disaffirmed.    Civil Code, Section 35.

b) The time of the Last Judgment

The students are growing and developing at an astonishing rate mentally, physically, and morally. They are no longer children nor have they reached the age of judgment and discretion, but are in the period of transition, of vital and tremendous change.
