§571-13  Retention of jurisdiction. 
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, jurisdiction obtained by the
court in the case of a minor may be retained by it, for the purposes of this
chapter, after the minor becomes eighteen years of age until the full term for
which any order entered shall have expired.  Further, in the case of any person
who is alleged to have committed an offense under section 571-11 prior to
reaching eighteen years of age, the court shall have jurisdiction after the
person becomes eighteen for the purpose of holding hearings and/or entering
orders of disposition concerning the alleged offenses or for the purpose of
making and issuing orders for pre-trial detention of persons aged eighteen
years or older to an adult correctional facility, when the person is alleged to
have committed an act or acts during the person's minority that would
constitute a violation of section 571-11(1).  This section shall not be
construed, however, to confer any jurisdiction upon the family court over a person
for any criminal act committed after the person achieves eighteen years of age.
