In a juvenile criminal case, the “disposition hearing” is basically the sentencing portion of trial. The purpose of a disposition hearing is to determine the most appropriate form of treatment or custody for juvenile offenders. Juvenile proceedings are distinct from regular adult criminal trials.

At the dispositional hearing, the judge decides whether the respondent is a “juvenile delinquent” in need of supervision, treatment or confinement (placement).
