  • Summary

  • Children deserve their day in court! For every allegation of abuse, neglect, delinquency, truancy, child in need of supervision or special care, the youth court decides the merits of the case in an ADJUDICATION hearing. The adjudication hearing is the "trial" in youth court. Parties are entitled to subpoena witnesses and be represented by an attorney. Parties can choose to admit or deny the allegations rather than pleading "guilty" or "not guilty." Judge O'Neal and Judge Bevill discuss the importance of due process and the importance of making sure that any admission is a knowing, willing, voluntary and a truthful admission. The Mississippi statutes controlling the procedure around adjudication hearings can be found in Miss. Code § 43-21-551 through § 43-21-561.


    Proposed amendments to the Youth Court Rules regarding service of process can be found at https://courts.ms.gov/research/rules/rulesforcomment/rulesforcomment.php
