When jurisdiction is waived, what should be sent to the juvenile court?

• A. All pertinent documents in the case
• B. Only the arrest report
• C. Only the plea
• D. Only the court's docket

Answer: (A)

When jurisdiction is waived, the entire case file should be sent to the juvenile court. This ensures the court has a complete record to rely on for processing, review, and future reference. All documents related to the case—charges, petitions, waivers, orders, notices, reports and evaluations, arrest or intake records, pleadings, disposition, and any other pertinent materials—need to accompany the transfer so nothing crucial is missing. If only a portion of the documents is sent, important context or procedural history could be lost, leading to confusion or improper handling. Having the full set of pertinent documents keeps the record accurate and helps maintain proper continuity and accountability.
