Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 15 Sec. 3311-D

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Juvenile: means a person who had not attained 18 years of age at the time the person allegedly committed a juvenile crime. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 15 Sec. 3003
  • Juvenile crime: has the meaning set forth in section 3103. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 15 Sec. 3003
A juvenile is precluded from seeking to attack the legality of a deferred disposition, including a final disposition, except that a juvenile who has been determined by a court to have inexcusably failed to comply with a court-imposed deferment requirement and thereafter has had imposed a dispositional alternative authorized for the juvenile crime may appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court, but not as of right. The time for taking the appeal and the manner and any conditions for the taking of the appeal are as the Supreme Judicial Court provides by rule. [PL 2015, c. 409, §7 (AMD).]
