W. Va. R. Juv. P. 25
Pre-Adjudication Conferences
(a) Timing. The court, in its discretion or upon the motion of the juvenile's counsel or the prosecuting attorney, may order a pretrial conference. At the conclusion of any such conference, the court shall direct the entry of a memorandum order of the pretrial matters agreed upon by the parties or decided by the court.
(b) Evidentiary and Other Issues. At the pretrial conference, the court shall determine whether there are any evidentiary or constitutional issues and, if not fully addressed during the conference, schedule an omnibus hearing. If there is no pretrial conference, evidentiary or constitutional issues raised by written motion of the juvenile's counsel or prosecuting attorney shall be heard by the court in an omnibus hearing at a time that will promote a fair and expeditious trial.
(c) Admissions. No admissions made by the juvenile or the juvenile's attorney at a pretrial conference or hearing shall be used against the juvenile unless the admissions are reduced to writing and signed by the juvenile and the juvenile's attorney.
