In most cases, juvenile court procedures are held before the judge. However, in some instances a juvenile can request a jury trial. A juvenile offender has the same legal protections during trial as an adult charged with a similar crime. The judge or jury will make a determination that the petition is proven or not proven.
Five Juvenile Court Phases
There are five distinct phases of the juvenile court process:
• Filing of Petition
• Referral to Intake
• Fitness Hearing
• Adjudication
• Disposition
