The Judicial Council of California (“Judicial Council”), chaired by the Chief Justice of California, is the chief policy making agency of the California judicial system. The California Constitution directs the Judicial Council to improve the administration of justice by surveying judicial business, recommending improvements to the courts, and making recommendations annually to the Governor and the Legislature. The Judicial Council also adopts rules for court administration, practice, and procedure, and performs other functions prescribed by law. The Judicial Council’s Court Operations and Services Division, Center for Families, Children & the Courts (“CFCC”) supports programs in court settings that improve practice and services for children, youth, parents, families and other court users.

A core service provided by CFCC is interdisciplinary trainings. California Rules of Court, Rule 5. 663 sets forth training requirements for attorneys representing children in juvenile justice cases. The Judicial Council is committed to providing children and families competent representation. Participants in juvenile justice trainings include judges, district attorneys, public defenders, conflict attorneys, and probation officers. The training will cover ensuring the public safety and protection of the child’s best interest at every state of the juvenile delinquency proceedings. A child’s counsel is charged in general with defending the child against the allegations in all petitions filed in delinquency proceedings by clarifying the role of the child’s counsel in delinquency proceedings.
