If the respondent does not obey the conditions of his or her dispositional order, the probation officer or placement agency may file a violation petition, and a new dispositional hearing may be held. If the violation is proven, the judge can order a different disposition.

In a juvenile delinquency case, the trial is called a "fact-finding hearing". A fact-finding hearing is the same as a criminal trial, but without a jury. The judge decides whether the child committed the acts described in the petition.
If found guilty, the child is called a "juvenile offender", and is subject to more serious penalties than a juvenile delinquent.
If the case has not been proven, the judge will dismiss the petition. If a finding is made, the judge will schedule a "dispositional hearing" and order the Probation Department to investigate the respondent's home and school behavior. The judge may order an evaluation by the city's Mental Health Services.

The First and Fourth departments have a reinstatement rule specifically applicable to attorneys who have been suspended for six months or less on account of disciplinary violations. 2 In those jurisdictions, an attorney seeking reinstatement at the end of a six month suspension need simply make a motion to the Appellate Division with an accompanying affidavit that is essentially an updated version of the affidavit of compliance that the attorney was required to file at the inception of the suspension. In other words, an attorney seeking reinstatement in this context must only show that he or she has fully complied with the order of suspension.
Suspended or disbarred lawyers seeking to be reinstated should carefully review their Appellate Division’s rule setting forth the detailed requirements for reinstatement, which differ by department. In cases involving administrative suspensions or short disciplinary suspensions, the process of reinstatement is straightforward and can be achieved relatively quickly. In essence, it involves filing a simple motion.
