Summary Trials Procedure: Juvenile Rules

We have discussed some issues relating to Summary Appeals in Bucks County previously (see Guilty Plea and Appeal of a Summary Trial).  If a juvenile (an individual under 18 in the state of Pennsylvania) is charged with an offense and the offense involves a mandatory sentence of imprisonment prescribed by statute, the case must be forwarded to the Bucks County Juvenile Division in the District Attorney's office.  

This "special" rule falls under the Juvenile Act.  

In this particular type of case, you should contact a Bucks County juvenile crime lawyer to discuss the Bucks County juvenile crime process.
