Juvenile Justice Code

South Carolina · South Carolina Children's Code · §§ 63-19-10 to 63-19-850 · 73 sections

Overview

The Juvenile Justice Code governs court proceedings involving juveniles, covering those alleged to be delinquent, those alleged to have violated civil laws or ordinances, and those alleged to be in need of protection or services. It establishes the jurisdiction and venue of the court handling these matters, provides for intake workers, disposition staff, and other court services, and sets the conditions under which older juveniles may instead be subject to criminal proceedings in adult court. It also regulates the taking of juveniles into custody — including the criteria for holding a juvenile and the facilities where that may occur — and guarantees procedural protections such as the right to counsel, appointment of a guardian ad litem, and the recording of custodial interrogations.
