Michigan Order For Competency Evaluation (Delinquency Proceedings) is an order issued by a juvenile court judge to determine the competency of a juvenile to stand trial in delinquency proceedings. It is a legal process that begins when a juvenile is being charged with a delinquency offense. The order requires a mental health evaluation to assess the juvenile’s competency to stand trial. The evaluation must be conducted by a qualified mental health professional and must include an assessment of the juvenile’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. The evaluation must also include a review of the juvenile’s past criminal history, school records, and other relevant documents. The evaluation results will then be presented to the court, and the judge will make a ruling on whether the juvenile is competent to stand trial. There are two types of Michigan Order For Competency Evaluation (Delinquency Proceedings): a competency screening and a competency trial. A competency screening is a brief evaluation to determine if a juvenile is competent to stand trial. A competency trial is a full evaluation to determine a juvenile’s competency. In a competency trial, a judge will hear testimony from witnesses, review evidence, and make a final decision on the juvenile’s competency.
