The Missouri Supreme Court addressed whether a juvenile has a statutory right to appeal such a judgment. The Court held that section 211.261.1 grants a juvenile the right to appeal any final judgment under Chapter 211, including a dismissal from juvenile jurisdiction. Consequently, the Court overruled prior precedent and retransferred the case to the court of appeals for a determination of the merits of D.E.G.'s claims.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=160075","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/in-the-interest-of-deg-appellant-v-juvenile-officer-of-jackson-county-res-c97869","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
