Toolkit for Judges

This toolkit is designed to provide quick and easy access to information needed by judges, attorneys, and other legal professionals involved with the Interstate Compact for Juveniles (ICJ). The ICJ facilitates the transfer of supervision of juveniles, temporary travel of defined offenders and return of juveniles who are wanted or missing, i.e. have absconded, escaped, fled to avoid prosecution, or run away. This toolkit is designed to assist courts when ruling on cases involving out-of-state youths. Updated April 1, 2026.
