Do I have to appear in Court or can I pay a waiver?
Most juvenile traffic offenses require a personal appearance. In the instance that the offense doesn’t require a personal appearance the Juvenile Court will contact the juvenile and parents directly.
Will the officer/deputy/trooper who issued me the citation be at the hearing date and time that I received on the citation or the formal arraignment time set by the Court?
The officer/deputy/trooper will not be present at the first hearing, which is the formal arraignment.
I am now 18 does that make a difference?
The Juvenile Court maintains jurisdiction over offenses that happened prior to the age of 18.
Do I have to take the CarTeens course or similar course if it was ordered in traffic court?
If a driving course is court ordered it is required to be completed; failure to do so could result in an additional hearing being scheduled or other actions taken by the Court.

An attorney is not required, however if you would like to speak to an attorney you have the right to do so.
