Minor's
Information
When
the peace officer issues the citation the case is forwarded
directly to the Informal Juvenile and Traffic Court nearest
to the minor's residence address for filing. If you have
received a Notice to Appear (citation) the minor (under
18) and parent/guardian must appear on the date and time
on the citation or as notified by the Court or face the
possibility of the loss of his or her privilege to drive
for failure to appear.

dress code is strictly enforced. Shorts, bare midriffs/feet
and undershirts worn without an outer shirt, or gang attire
will not be allowed in the Hearing Room.

Confidentiality
Because
of the confidentiality of all Juvenile matters, the court
will only call one case into the hearing room at a time.
Therefore, the wait to go into the hearing room may be lengthy.
It is best NOT to bring small children with you to court.
Availability of these records is restricted to certain court
personnel, the minor, parents or guardian and other persons
designated by the Presiding Judge of Juvenile Court.
