What does probation mean? Probation is a judge placing limitations on your behavior for a period of time as part of your sentence. These limitations can include your having to do work in lieu of jail, pay a fine, and in the case of DUIs, attend and complete a DUI class. Probation is either informal (99.9% of misdemeanors) or formal (probation officer). Informal probation means that a judge ordered you to lead a law abiding life and to follow all terms of probation without the supervision of a probation officer.
When a defendant is sentenced to probation, the term of probation is usually between one and three years. A sentence to probation may be longer, depending upon the seriousness of the offense and state sentencing policies.
