Alaska Delinq. R. 27
Court Records—Confidentiality
(a) The court records of a juvenile delinquency
proceeding are confidential in any case in which the juvenile is
not subject to dual sentencing. Information may not be released
and access to the records may not be permitted except as
authorized by statute or upon court order for good cause shown
under conditions as the court may set, except that:
(1) A probation officer employed by the Alaska Department of Corrections may review delinquency proceedings records for the sole purpose of preparing a
presentence report on the individual whose juvenile record is
reviewed. The records may be used in the sentencing
proceeding and attached to the probation officer’s report.
(2) A prosecuting attorney may obtain a certified copy of
an adjudication or disposition order entered in a juvenile
proceeding based on a written request certifying that the
prosecutor needs the order to establish the elements of a felony
offense. The prosecutor may not use or disclose the order
except for this purpose.
(b) If the juvenile is subject to dual sentencing, all court
records are open to the public except for predisposition reports,
psychiatric and psychological reports, and other documents
that the court orders to be kept confidential because the release
of the documents could be harmful to the juvenile or could
violate the constitutional rights of the victim or other persons.
In such cases, court records are open to the public when one of
the following has occurred: (1) a petition has been filed under
AS 47.12.065 and the grand jury has returned an indictment or
the juvenile has waived indictment; or (2) the juvenile has
agreed as part of a plea agreement to be subject to dual
sentencing.
