Minn. Juve. Prot. P. 32.03
2019 Advisory Committee Comment
Rule 32 is amended in 2019 as part of a revision of the Rules of Juvenile Protection Procedure. The rule was formerly codified as Rule 21. The amendments are not intended to substantively change the rule's meaning.
Rule 32 delineates the status and rights of parties, and Rule 33 delineates the status and rights of participants. There may be many individuals concerned about the best interests of a child who do not have the immediate connection to the child that justifies treating them as parties. The intent of these rules is to ensure that such individuals are aware of the proceedings and are available to provide information useful to the court in making decisions concerning that child. A person with participant status may intervene as a party pursuant to Rule 34 or may be joined as a party pursuant to Rule 35.
Former Rule 21 had provisions for a party to ask the court to keep the party's name and address confidential if the party was endangered. This issue is now addressed by Rule 8.04, subd. 2(p).
