Justice:

State filed a petition and a supplemental petition for adjudication of delinquency and wardship, alleging that the minor, then age 15, had committed various offenses including burglary to a motor vehicle and unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle.  The circuit court ordered the minor detained on three separate occasions.  Juvenile Court Act plainly sets forth the criteria the court is to consider in making a finding as to immediate and urgent necessity.  Court declined to make an authoritative determination for future guidance under the public interest exception to mootness.  (HOLDER WHITE and DeARMOND, concurring.)
