Traffic Cases:
Cases involving juveniles accused of traffic violations are heard by the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. Certain violations called prepayable traffic infractions may be prepaid at the clerk's or magistrate's office if prepayment is permitted by the chief judge and if the juvenile wishes to plead guilty and not contest the charge. The traffic summons should be examined to see if the arresting officer has marked that trial may be waived (given up) to permit prepayment. If prepayment is permitted, the clerk's or magistrate's office should be called to find out the fine and costs and to find out where to mail or deliver the signed waiver of Trial form (on front of summons) with the fine and costs. The telephone number for the clerk's office appears on the summons or in the telephone directory under the listing for the city or county government.
