Minn. Juve. Prot. P. 19.02
2019 Advisory Committee Comment
Rule 19 is amended in 2019 as part of a revision of the Rules of Juvenile Protection Procedure. The amendments delete former Rules 19.01 and 19.02, which described the purpose and contents of settlement agreements. The committee viewed the language as unnecessary and unduly restrictive. Former Rules 19.03 and 19.04 have been recodified as Rules 19.01 and 19.02. The amendments also clarify that the court's obligation is to ensure that each party to the agreement understands the consequences of any admission or settlement agreement.
