The Interstate Compact Office within the Office of Probation Administration would like to share a valuable resource with Judges and court personnel who work with juveniles transferred under the Interstate Commission for Juveniles (ICJ) or out-of-state runaways being returned to his/her home/demanding state under the ICJ. The ICJ Bench Book provides an overview of legal procedures for the Compact, along with recently revised ICJ Rules, Advisory Opinions, and process charts. Below is the link to access the 2018 edition of the ICJ Bench Book:
