Rule 10-201 Delinquency proceedings; scope.

If a child is accused of doing something that would be a crime if an adult did it, the case follows a specific set of procedures called Article 2. These rules lay out how the entire process works, from start to finish, for these types of cases.

This means anyone involved, like the child, parents, or attorneys, can look to Article 2 to understand what steps happen next in a delinquency case. It sets the framework that courts must follow when handling these matters, so the process stays consistent and predictable.
