A type of judicial waiver that involves the prosecutor filing a petition with a juvenile court requesting that the juvenile court waive a juvenile to adult court. The discretionary judicial waiver laws in each state usually varies based on two factors- 1) offenses allowed to be wavied to criminal court and 2) the minimum age a person has to be before being able to be waived to criminal court. The judge makes the final decision to waive a juvenile to adult court.
