The Juvenile Court has several options on how it can proceed when a petition or complaint is filed. The Court may: 1) deny authorization of the petition 2) refer the matter to voluntary counseling under the Juvenile Diversion Act. These cases are handled without official action of the Court. No official record is made. 3) Direct the matter for further informal inquiry 4) Place the matter on the consent calendar 5) Place the matter on the formal calendar.
