Honorable Laura L. Krieg, Presiding Juvenile Court Judge for Tuolumne County Please be advised Juvenile cases are strictly confidential - no information will be given on the phone. Parties wishing to obtain information must come to the courthouse to present identification establishing themselves to be parties to the case. Location Justice Center Courthouse 12855 Justice Center Drive Phone: (209) 533-6975 Transfer-In Hearings The Court hears two kinds of Juvenile cases: Juvenile Dependency Juvenile Delinquency Date and Time: Transfer-Ins for Juvenile Dependency cases are heard on Mondays at 1:30PM. Transfer-Ins for Juvenile Delinquency cases are heard on Mondays at 8:30AM. Contacts: Juvenile Clerk: (209) 533-6975 Juvenile Dependency Dependency matter are filed with the Court when there are reports that children have been abandoned, abused or neglected by their parent(s) or legal guardian. These cases are also filed with the Court when parents or legal guardians are unable or unwilling to care for their children. The California Welfare and Institutions code, starting at section 300, sets forth the legal requirements, process and objectives for Dependency Court. The objectives of Dependency Court are to: Protect the health and safety of minor children; Preserve families, whenever possible; Provide placement of children with a relative, foster family, group home or an adoptive parent if it is determined to be in their best interest. Juvenile Delinquency The Welfare and Institutions Code, starting at section 602, describes the court's jurisdiction over misdemeanors and felonies committed by minors (persons under 18 years of age.) For certain serious crimes, the law currently provides the possibility of trying juveniles as adults in the Adult Criminal Court. Parents or guardians have the right to receive a copy of the delinquency petition, stating the delinquent acts the child is accused of committing. The petition does not prove that the minor committed these acts and there will be opportunities at court hearings to present evidence regarding the minor's involvement in the alleged criminal acts. For those who cannot afford legal representation for their children, the Court will appoint an attorney. Please note that this attorney represents the child only and will not represent the parents or guardians. The objective of the Delinquency court are to: Protect the minor; Give guidance to the minor; Punish minors who commit delinquent acts, and; Ensure the safety of the community. If a minor becomes a ward of the Delinquency Court, the court will make orders for the parents and guardians and the minor. The minor may be allowed to live in the parents' or guardians' home under Court supervision or may be placed outside of the home in an unlocked or locked facility. The factors that the Court will consider in making this determination include the child's age, the seriousness of the offense, and the history of delinquency.

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-15 (California T4 Tuolumne build 2026-10-15) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-tuolumne/pages/divisions__juvenile.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-15; 629155 bytes, sha256 2f35a4279e3e221c2ad43c358f99e6c2a2e9f702d61025e2e7c5b77b4452f6a7) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 1 item (the page title, “Juvenile”); proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page hears “Transfer-Ins for Juvenile Dependency cases” “on Mondays at 1:30PM”; the Judicial Assignments page (carded) sets no Juvenile 300 calendar on a Monday - its “Juvenile 300” calendars are in Department 4 on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
