Other basic rights
N.D. Cent. Code § 27-20.2-13
in effect27-20.2-13. Other basic rights
1. A party is entitled to the opportunity to introduce evidence and otherwise be heard in
the party's own behalf and to cross-examine adverse witnesses.
2. A child charged with a delinquent act need not be a witness against or otherwise
incriminate oneself. An extrajudicial statement, if obtained in the course of violation of
this chapter or which would be constitutionally inadmissible in a criminal proceeding,
may not be used against a child. Evidence illegally seized or obtained may not be
received over objection to establish the allegations made against a child. A confession
validly made by a child out of court is insufficient to support an adjudication of
delinquency unless the confession is corroborated in whole or in part by other
evidence.
