A delinquency petition informs the judge of the allegations against a youth and asks the judge to "adjudicate," (hear and judge) the case in a formal hearing. During an adjudicatory hearing the testimony of witnesses and the facts of the case are heard. If the juvenile is found "delinquent" by the judge (or in some states, by a jury), a "disposition hearing" is scheduled. In the interim, the probation office is tasked with the responsibility of evaluating the youth and recommending a course of action for the court to take. Probation officials will take into account the results of any studies that have been made of the youth. Often these include "psychological evaluations" and "diagnostic tests." The "disposition plan" advises the court on which of the available options would best benefit the youth and the community.

Juvenile court is very different than normal adult court. For starters, juveniles are not actually accused of crimes. They are found to be delinquent. This is a civil status, not a criminal prosecution. Normally all files and the actual courtroom are closed to the public (whereas most other courts are public record.) Procedurally, the trial follows a similar pattern (opening statements, state's case, defense's case, closing) and both sides are held to the same rules of evidence. However, the judge may play a more active role than in an adult criminal trial and juries are rarely used. If a juvenile is found to be delinquent (not guilty) he/she is sentenced by the judge. Typically, the court has wide discretion and a variety of options available, rather than just confinement. The court may order that the juvenile be placed in an alternative program where he/she would be taught life skills and earn their high school diploma or GED. The court typically has a variety of programs and classes to choose from. Confinement periods are typically very short and used only in the most serious cases.Once a juvenile reaches the age of adulthood, his/her juvenile record is or can be sealed. The juvenile record generally cannot be used against him/her in a later criminal charge.

The charging document in juvenile court is typically referred to as a petition or a delinquency petition. It is a written legal document that outlines the specific charges brought against a juvenile in a delinquency case. The petition includes details about the alleged offense and serves as the formal notice to the juvenile and their parent or guardian.

The 4 D's in juvenile justice refer to the principles of diversion, due process, decriminalization, and detention as they apply to handling young offenders in the justice system. These principles aim to provide alternatives to formal court processing, ensure fair treatment under the law, reduce reliance on criminalizing youth behavior, and limit incarceration for juvenile offenders.
