(a) Scope. These rules apply in all juvenile court proceedings, including delinquency, incorrigibility, diversion, dependency, emancipation, in-home intervention, extended foster care, Title 8 guardianship, termination of parental rights, and adoption. (b) Construction. Parties should use these rules, and courts should construe and enforce them, in a manner that ensures a simple and fair resolution of juvenile proceedings, reduces unnecessary delay and expense, protects individual rights, and preserves the public welfare.
