JCRPP 14. Adjudication hearing--public offense case
A record shall be made of all adjudication hearings utilizing the AOC-JV-50, Adjudication Order (Public and Status Offense), which shall include the following as applicable:
B. Admission. Prior to accepting an admission or confession from a child to the truthfulness of the allegations in the petition or any amendments thereto, the court shall inform the child of his or her rights, on the record, as contained in AOC-JV-49, Notice of Juvenile Rights and Consequences, and shall make a finding that the admission is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily entered. Any admission shall be made utilizing the AOC-JV-51, Admission or Confession and Waiver of Formal Adjudication Hearing and shall be signed by the child and counsel for the child, and shall be signed as having seen and agreed by the county attorney.
Commentary
The Adjudication Hearing referenced in this rule is a specific stage of the proceeding which is followed by Disposition, or resolution of the case. The Juvenile Code also refers to “adjudicatory hearings,” which are any hearings where a court considers evidence and enters orders, and should be distinguished from this hearing which is a required step in formal juvenile proceedings.
