Abstract The available information regarding what specific developmental processes contribute to trial-related deficits in young juvenile defendants is limited. The current survey of juvenile defense attorneys focused on their perceptions of a juvenile client who may have been incompetent due to immaturity. Participants were defense attorneys (*n* = 193, 41.45% female) with an average of over 11 years of experience working with juvenile defendants. Attorneys identified a variety of trial-related deficits across the three *Dusky *components. Attorneys identified developmental factors that may have impaired these trial-related abilities including abstract thinking, attention, future orientation, and risk appraisal.
