Illinois Juvenile Summons is a legal document issued by the state of Illinois to individuals under the age of 18 who are accused of committing a crime or violating the law. The summons is issued by the juvenile court and requires the accused juvenile to appear before a judge and answer the charges. There are two types of Illinois Juvenile Summons: a delinquency summons and a criminal summons. A delinquency summons is issued in cases where the juvenile is alleged to have committed a delinquent act, such as truancy. A criminal summons is issued for criminal offenses, such as assault or theft. Both types of summons require the juvenile to appear in court and provide an explanation for his or her actions. If found guilty, the juvenile may face fines, probation, or detention.
