Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adjudication hearing is where the judge determines whether the juvenile is guilty or innocent of the offense charged. It is the fact-finding part of the juvenile court process, where evidence is presented and evaluated to determine guilt. The disposition hearing is where the judge decides on an appropriate punishment or treatment for the juvenile if they are found guilty, and the sentencing hearing is only conducted for adults who have been convicted of a crime. The conviction hearing is not a standard term in the juvenile court process.
