This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
This rule used to explain the role of probation officers in juvenile court cases. It no longer applies. Alabama courts got rid of this rule back in 2006.
If you're looking for information about probation officers in juvenile cases today, you'll need to check other current rules or laws, since this one was officially removed and replaced by other guidance. The rescission was part of a larger update that also removed several other related rules (Rules 7, 19, 21, and 22) at the same time.
