Juvenile Case Stages

The Juvenile Court system has an entirely different set of rules than that adult court system. The terminology is also different in that a "Crime" is called a "Act of Delinquency". In addition "Pretrial Conferences" are called "Pre-adjudication Hearings". The actual "Trial" is called "Adjudication Hearing", and juveniles are not found to be "guilty", they are found "delinquent". Instead of a "Sentencing", they have a "Disposition Hearing". In reality, these juvenile terms mean almost exactly the same thing as they do in adult court. Following is a list of all of the case stages involved in the juvenile process in chronological order.
