What Happens If The Minor Feels That The Hearing Was Unjust?
Welfare & Institutions Code Section 262 provides that a minor or the minor’s parent may petition the presiding judge of the juvenile court to modify, set aside, or order a rehearing of any case heard under Welfare & Institutions Code Section 257. The statement of rights which is read and signed by each minor explains the right to a rehearing. The minor must file a written request to the presiding judge within ten calendar days of the hearing.
