Rule 5.585 Rules governing appellate review

Appeals in juvenile court cases follow a specific set of rules. If a judge makes a ruling in a case involving an abused or neglected child, a minor who breaks the law, or a child who needs supervision, those rules can be found in title 8, chapter 5 of the California Rules of Court.

If you want to appeal a decision in one of these cases, you should look up those rules to understand how the process works. The rules cover what steps to take, what deadlines apply, and how the appeals court will review the case.
