The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “(a) The court may accept an admission from a juvenile only after first addressing the juvenile personally and: (1) Informing the juvenile that the juvenile has a right to remain silent and that any statement the juvenile makes may be used against the juvenile; (2) Determining that the juvenile understands the nature of the charge; (3) Informing the juvenile that the juvenile has a right to deny the allegations; (4) Informing the juvenile that by the juvenile's admissions the juvenile waives the juvenile's right to be confronted by the witnesses against the juvenile; (5) Determining that the juvenile is satisfied with the juvenile's representation; and (6) Informing the juvenile of the most restrictive disposition on the charge.”

2. “Do you understand that you have the right to remain silent and that anything you say may be used against you? Do you understand that you have the right to deny that you committed the offenses of three counts of armed robbery and one count of assault with a deadly weapon? Do you understand by admitting that you did this that you give up the constitutional right to confront the witness against you? Do you understand that by admitting this that you could be sent to training school? Do you understand what you're charged with? Do you have any questions for [your attorney] or for me? Do you have any further questions at all? Do you understand what's going on?”
