What is a minor? Legal Rights Minors

A minor is a person who does not have the legal rights of an adult. A minor is usually defined as someone who has not yet reached the age of majority.

Until a minor reaches the legal age of adulthood, he or she may not be responsible for his/her own actions (including the capacity to enter into a contract which is enforceable by the other party), for damages for negligence or intentional wrongs without a parent being liable, nor for punishment as an adult for a crime.
