Can I get copies of documents from a juvenile case file?

You can review the legal portion of a juvenile case file, and get copies of documents at the cost of $1 per page.  Certain portions of a juvenile file are confidential and cannot be reviewed or copied by the public, including the Dispositional Report and the Social File (which includes all DHHS reports and medical reports).  You must submit a written request to review a file or get copies of documents.  The request form can be found here.
