Juveniles Eligible for ICJ
The Interstate Compact for Juveniles applies to all juveniles subject to some form of supervision. Categories of juveniles under supervision are:
Hearing Requirements
Juveniles who are adjudicated delinquent and subject to the ICJ have limited rights.
Due process requirements apply equally to parole and probation revocation. Although a juvenile is not entitled to all of the due process procedures provided in an ordinary criminal trial, he is entitled to receive sufficient due process.

Extraditions
Neither the constitutional provisions nor statutes governing extradition appear to make a special exception for juveniles. Although some form of extradition proceedings is considered necessary for juvenile criminal fugitives, no formal extradition process is necessary to return a minor to a guardian. The power of the state to try a juvenile is not affected by the manner of his return to a state.
Eligibility for Transfer of Supervision
Juveniles eligible for ICJ must fulfill ALL of the following conditions, according to Rule 4-101:
Do I need to report training completed in my state to the ICJ?
Yes. Please submit your training data to the ICJ National Office after each training using the Training Report Form. This data is included in the Commission’s Annual Report.
How do I request training for my state?
The Commission offers many free training resources, including self-paced online training courses, live webinars (via Zoom), and resources available for download on the Training Materials webpage. Please view the ICJ Training and Technical Assistance webpage for more information.
What can I do if another state is not responding to my ICJ requests?
Since most requests are communicated electronically, your first step should be to attempt contact by telephone. Next, your state’s ICJ commissioner should contact the other state’s ICJ commissioner. Document all your efforts to communicate with the other state. If you are not able to resolve the matter, you may ask the Commission to intervene by filing a request for dispute resolution.
