Serbian term

maloletna tužilja

Serbian to English Law/Patents Law (general) Court decision
Does anyone know the definitive US English translation for this legal term? I know that it means "minor petitioner/complainant/plaintiff". However, I don't find many examples of any of these on the Web.

It would be great if anyone could let me know if there is a SerbianEnglish legal glossary explaining some of these terms on the Web. I don't usually do legal translations, so I don't have a lot of resources.

Thank you!

minor female plaintiff

I think there is no special explanation. You could find this on the Web.
The 14-year-old minor female plaintiff was a passenger in the back seat of the defendant’s car. While making a left turn, the defendant turned too quickly, the vehicle rolled on its side and skidded before hitting a telephone pole. The defendant, who was cited for a motor vehicle violation, conceded liability shortly before trial.

In legal matters minor stands for maloletni, maloletna. Juvenile is used with delinquency. Juvenile delinquency - maloletnicka delinkvencija. - Z. Bujas Croatoserbian - English Encyclopedic Dictionary.

Note from asker:
Thanks for your answer and time. I didn't use "female" since the gender of the petitioner was clear from the rest of the document.
