The Wisconsin Waiver of Right to Attorney (Child/Juvenile) is a form that allows a child or juvenile to waive their right to legal counsel in a criminal or delinquency proceeding. This waiver is used when a juvenile is charged with a crime and the court believes they are mature enough to make an informed decision on whether to waive their right to an attorney. There are two types of waivers: a voluntary waiver and an involuntary waiver. A voluntary waiver is when the child or juvenile voluntarily agrees to waive their right to an attorney and proceed without legal counsel. An involuntary waiver is when the court determines that the juvenile does not have the capacity to make an informed decision and waives their right to an attorney on their behalf. The waiver must be signed by the juvenile or their parent or guardian, as well as the court, and must include a statement that the juvenile has received an explanation of the consequences of waiving their right to an attorney.
