Rule 16.1 Leaves of Absence

Judges and lawyers in juvenile court can take time away from their duties, just like in other courts. The rules for doing this follow the same guidelines used in Superior Court.

If you are involved in a juvenile court case and your lawyer needs to take a leave of absence, the same standards apply as they would in any other Superior Court case. You can look at Superior Court Rule 16 to understand exactly how that process works.
