Current through Rules and Regulations filed through December 18, 2024
When a violation report has been filed and a revocation proceeding initiated, a youth may be represented by an attorney. If the youth or the youth's parents or guardian are unable to retain an attorney, then an attorney will be provided for the final hearing, at no expense, upon proof of indigency only under the following conditions:
(a) An attorney will be provided for final revocation hearings, upon timely request, where necessary to ensure that the youth's interests are adequately represented when there is either a colorable claim:
(b) An attorney will be provided in any case for final revocation hearings in which a youth requests it and the youth is not assisted by a parent(s), guardian or other adult, or the youth cannot be effectively assisted by a parent(s) or guardian, because their interests conflict.
