  • 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
