5-02/050.00 - Juvenile Court Petition Requests



The juvenile court maintains original jurisdiction in cases defined in sections 603 and 604 WIC.  No other court shall have jurisdiction of a juvenile who was under 18 years of age at the time of an alleged commission of a crime or public offense unless the juvenile court has ordered the juvenile prosecuted under the general law.

The juvenile court also maintains original jurisdiction in cases relating to dependency, as defined in section 300 WIC.
