State Law states that juvenile records are sealed except to the juvenile or parent or legal guardian of a juvenile. A juvenile and/or their parent or legal guardian must appear in person with their identification and sign release forms in order to receive any information on any juvenile case. Even after the juvenile has seen the Judge and made arrangements with the Court, the case is sealed and requests for information must be made in person with identification and release forms signed. State Law prevents clerks from giving any information for any juvenile case over the phone, no matter what the status of the case is.Municipal Court
