Hearing Requirements

Juveniles who are adjudicated delinquent and subject to the ICJ have limited rights.

Due process requirements apply equally to parole and probation revocation. Although a juvenile is not entitled to all of the due process procedures provided in an ordinary criminal trial, he is entitled to receive sufficient due process.

Extraditions

Neither the constitutional provisions nor statutes governing extradition appear to make a special exception for juveniles. Although some form of extradition proceedings is considered necessary for juvenile criminal fugitives, no formal extradition process is necessary to return a minor to a guardian. The power of the state to try a juvenile is not affected by the manner of his return to a state.

What can I do if another state is not responding to my ICJ requests?

Since most requests are communicated electronically, your first step should be to attempt contact by telephone.  Next, your state’s ICJ commissioner should contact the other state’s ICJ commissioner.  Document all your efforts to communicate with the other state.  If you are not able to resolve the matter, you may ask the Commission to intervene by filing a request for dispute resolution.
