Question

What does the term juvenile waiver refer to?

Answer 1

Waiver to Adult Court. The process through which a juvenile court relinquishes jurisdiction over a juvenile offender and the case is processed in adult court. Juvenile waivers are allowed in nearly all states. The decision to “waive” juvenile protections and try the juvenile as an adult rests with the judge, not the defendant.

Answer 2

It refers to when a judge decides to transfer a case from a juvenile court to an adult court.
