§ 346 Juvenile Court Hearing Privacy

• •Juvenile court hearings are usually private and not open to the public.
• •Only the minor, their parents or guardians, and people the judge thinks have a good reason to be there can attend.
• •The judge can let in others if they have a direct and important interest in the case.

A teenager gets in trouble at school and has to go to juvenile court.

The court hearing is private, so only the teenager, their parents, and maybe a school counselor can go in. The judge might let in a teacher if they think it’s important for the case.
