Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adjudicatory hearing is the equivalent of a trial in juvenile court, where the judge or hearing officer determines whether the youth is guilty or not guilty of the alleged offense. A detention hearing is a hearing to determine whether a youth should be released or detained pending their adjudicatory hearing. An initial hearing is the first court appearance, and a conference hearing is a meeting between the parties to discuss case planning and resolution.
