More details to this question:
I received my green card in 2005 and exited the United States in 2007 while having a re entry permit that would let me be a permanent resident till 2009 if i returned to the US. Unfortunately I could not return as I was a minor and the decision was because of my parents. I know that for an abandoned green card, a person could I apply for an SB1 visa to come to the US as a legal permanent resident again, but that is not possible for me. It is because i am already in the United States on a student visa, is there any way I could have green card reinstated? such as presenting my case in front of an immigration judge?

It is highly doubtful that you will have the green card reinstated given the circumstances that you have described. An adjudicator may point out the same thing that you did in your fact situation that you could have applied for an SB-1 visa to return to the US as a permanent resident.
