Order To Seal Juvenile Records-WIC 788 {L-1285}

L-1285 - ORDER TO SEAL JUVENILE RECORDS – WELFARE AND INSTITUTION S CODE SECTION 788. This form is used by the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, to officially seal a minor’s juvenile court records. It is part of a legal process where a former juvenile offender petitions the court to have their juvenile records sealed, which means the records are no longer accessible to the public and are treated as if they never existed. The form documents the court’s decision to either grant or deny the petition to seal records related to specific offenses. It includes details such as the petitioner's name, date of birth, incident numbers, arresting agencies, violations, and whether each record is to be sealed or denied. If granted, the order may also include instructions on the destruction or retention of the records in accordance with Welfare and Institutions Code section 788(l). Once signed by the judicial officer, the court clerk is responsible for sending certified copies of the order to all agencies and officials listed, ensuring that the sealing is enforced across all relevant entities. www.FormsWorkflow.com
