The Defender Association has helped hundreds of minors navigate the judicial bypass process and are a welcoming, safe, and confidential resource. The attorneys will review what a judicial bypass is, ask some questions so they can fill out the paperwork required to schedule a hearing, and then the attorney will give an overview of what to expect during the judicial bypass hearing and review what questions the judge will likely ask you.
