For this reason the Court may make important decisions about your best interests.  \nWhat happens in Juvenile Court is private. The general public cannot come into the courtroom or read the records. However, in some counties, the news media and alleged victim are allowed in the courtroom. Some information about what happens in court may be put in newspapers and on television, but not your name or your parents/guardians’ names.  \nDecisions made in Juvenile Court are very important to you. You and your parents or guardians need to understand what is happening in the court hearings.  \nThis guide will give you some information about Juvenile Delinquency Court.

This also includes when you talk to your lawyer in the presence of another person who may not have a duty to keep what you say confidential.  \n• Do not agree to anything you don’t understand. If you don’t understand what is happening, ask your lawyer, the probation officer or the Judge to explain.  \n• Ask yourself “What happened? What am I supposed to do now?” when you leave court. If you don’t know ; ask for more information.  \n• Make sure you keep all your papers in a safe place. Keep the phone number of your attorney and probation officer handy.  \nA DELINQUENT is a person under age 18 whom the Court finds has broken a law or attempted to break a law.  \nRIGHTS IN COURT  \nParents, guardians, and children who must appear in Juvenile Court have certain rights. The Judge must explain these rights the first time you appear in Court and a paper explaining “Rights of Parties”will be given to you and your parent(s)/guardian(s) either with the Petition or at your first Court appearance.  \nThese rights are:  \n• You should get a written statement telling what crime with which you are charged. This is called a Petition.  \n• You will usually get the Petition with a Summons telling you when and where to appear in Court.  \n• You can be present in Court and tell your side of the story. Unless the Judge or attorney tells you that you are excused, you must attend every Court date.  \n• You have the right to be present at every Court hearing.  \n• You must have a lawyer with you in Court each and every time you are there. What you tell your lawyer is confidential. If your parents/guardians cannot afford to hire one, the Judge will appoint one to represent you. The Judge may order your parents/guardians to pay some fees or costs for the services of a Court-appointed lawyer. Some Court-appointed lawyers are also called Public Defenders.  \n• Your attorney can ask questions of the witnesses and have other people speak on your behalf. You and your parent/guardian can know what is in your court file and be told what is in the reports used by the Court.  \n• You can appeal the case to a higher Court if you don’t agree with the Judge’s decision.  \n• You must be told about all these rights.  \n• You can keep silent and cannot be forced to testify against yourself.  \n• If you don’t understand English or cannot hear, you have a","cbCairCcsxpWNSw4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairCcsxpWNSw4","pdf",155290,"English","# Introduction\n# Rights in Court\n# Obligations of Parents/Guardians and Juveniles\n# Juvenile Court Hearings","[{\"question\":\"What are the main purposes of Illinois Juvenile Court?\",\"answer\":\"The court aims to protect citizens from juvenile crime, hold each juvenile offender directly accountable, and help rehabilitate the juvenile and his or her family through decisions in the youth’s best interests.\"},{\"question\":\"What rights do juveniles and their parents/guardians have in juvenile court?\",\"answer\":\"The judge must explain rights and provide a paper titled “Rights of Parties.” Rights include receiving a written petition describing the charges, being present to tell your side, having a lawyer each time, being able to ask about witnesses and court files, keeping silent, and getting an interpreter if needed.\"},{\"question\":\"What obligations must parents/guardians and juveniles follow, and what happens if orders are ignored?\",\"answer\":\"The judge may order juveniles or their parent/guardian to cooperate, such as meeting with the Public Defender or probation officer, and those orders must be obeyed.
