DISCOVERY UNIT – BOULDER DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Juvenile Cases

Juvenile case discovery is provided as a paper copy of the police reports relevant to a case.  When discovery is requested, the Juvenile Unit staff will copy the reports and any CD or DVD media contained in the file.

In routine cases, where the District Attorney’s Office already has a copy of the reports provided by law enforcement, the discovery will be available within three business days of the request.  In complex cases, or when reports from the law enforcement agency must be requested, the discovery will be available after the reports have been received and copied.

All requests for discovery will be treated as continuing requests until a case is closed, so all additional discovery received in a case will be copied, provided, and must be paid for until the case is closed.

As soon as discovery is available, the Juvenile Unit staff will call the attorney or defendant.  Discovery can be paid for and picked up at the District Attorney’s Office anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. during regular county workdays.  At the time discovery is picked up, full payment must be made for all cases in which original or supplemental discovery is available.  No discovery will be provided if there is an outstanding order for discovery that is unpaid.  Only checks or cash can be accepted as payment for discovery.  No credit cards are accepted.

Discovery charges
