Ill. S. Ct. R. 661
Appeals as Poor Persons by Minors Found To Be Delinquent
Upon the filing of a notice of appeal in any proceeding in which a minor has been found to be
delinquent, or in which probation or conditional discharge imposed in such a proceeding has been
revoked, appointment of counsel and the provision of a transcript of the adjudicatory and
dispositional hearings without cost to the minors shall be governed by Rule 607.
History
Adopted effective May 29, 1968; amended September 8, 1975, effective October 1, 1975. Committee Comments (October 1, 1975) Prior to 1975, Rule 661 set forth the procedure for obtaining counsel and a free transcript of the proceedings below in cases in which an appeal is taken from a delinquency proceeding in t he juvenile court. This procedure was the same as that provided in Rule 607 in the case of appeals from judgments in criminal cases. In 1975, Rule 660 was added, making the rules dealing with appeals in criminal cases generally applicable to delinquency proceedings. It was thus unnecessary to repeat the substance of Rule 607 in Rule 661. Because Rule 607, by its terms, applies only to appeals from certain types of criminal cases, it was necessary to retain Rule 661 to make it plain that Rule 607 applies.
