Declaration In Support Of Access To Juvenile Records {JUV010}

JUV 010 - DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF ACCESS TO JUVENILE COURT RECORDS (Welfare and Institutions Code § 827). This form is used in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, for individuals or entities seeking to inspect or receive juvenile court records. This form is typically completed by a petitioner who has a legal right to access such confidential records under specific provisions of California law. It ensures the court understands the petitioner’s role—such as a parent, legal guardian, attorney, social worker, law enforcement officer, or member of a relevant state agency—and confirms that the petitioner meets the legal criteria for access without needing a separate court order, or acknowledges that a court order is required. The form includes strict confidentiality warnings and restrictions, prohibiting the dissemination, copying, or sharing of any unredacted juvenile records without proper legal authority. It outlines the types of records requested (dependency or juvenile justice) and the purpose for access, such as litigation preparation or personal knowledge. The declaration must be signed under penalty of perjury, and attorneys must provide their case and client information. In some instances, a separate petition (JV-570) and a court order from the Presiding Judge of the Juvenile Court are necessary to obtain copies of sealed records. For Mandatory Use. Welf. & Inst. Codes § 827, 786(g)(1), and 362.5, Cal. Rules of Court, rule 5.552; Local Rule 7.2. www.FormsWorkflow.com
