Petition And Order Regarding Public Information (WIC 6760 {JV.020}

JV.020 - PETITION AND ORDER REGARDING PUBLIC INFORMATION (WIC § 676). This form is used in California juvenile court cases to request that specific aspects of a case be kept confidential to protect the privacy and safety of the minor, victims, or the public. This form is typically filed by the District Attorney, Minor’s Counsel, Probation, or other involved parties. It has multiple sections: the first section, Pre-Jurisdiction, requests that proceedings be closed to the public or during a victim's testimony if the victim is under 16. The second section, Post-Jurisdiction, seeks to maintain the confidentiality of the minor's identity after they have been found guilty of an offense, in order to protect the minor, the victim, or others. The final section, Petition to Prohibit Disclosure of File or Record, requests the court to prevent the disclosure of case files or records to the public, arguing that doing so would cause harm to the minor, victims, or others involved. The court reviews these requests and decides whether to grant or deny the confidentiality measures based on the circumstances presented. Mandatory. www.FormsWorkflow.com
