Rule 16.805 Filing of social records and social reports

When someone files a social record or social report electronically in a juvenile court case, they need to correctly label what type of document it is. The electronic filing system gives a list of document types to choose from on the cover sheet, and the filer must pick the one that actually matches what they're submitting.

This matters because these records contain sensitive information about children and families involved in juvenile court cases. Picking the right label helps the court system handle and store the document correctly, since different types of records may need different levels of privacy protection or review.

In short, if you're filing this kind of document, take a moment to check that you've selected the accurate category on the cover sheet before you submit it.
