1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1.1 Judicial Council of California. 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.
1.2 Project. This request seeks a proposal from a qualified Contractor to develop an
updated, comprehensive directory of all California youth courts. This directory
must detail each court's county location, operational model, average participant
volume, lead agency, and relationship with the local superior court. The directory
should also identify whether the program integrates or provides training
on behavioral health issues. Upon completion of the directory, the Contractor will
provide a summary report of the data analyzing the current state of youth courts
and give a presentation on the report which must be conducted in a way suitable
for recording and future distribution.
The preferential Contractor will be familiar with youth courts, including their
structure and history; gathering and analyzing data; and have experience
presenting about youth courts.
2.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES
The Judicial Council seeks the services of a person or entity with expertise in
youth courts, also sometimes referred to as peer courts, to create a directory of
youth courts in California.
The Contractor will be expected to contact youth courts and lead agencies (e.g.,
probation, law enforcement) across the state, solicit information about the youth
court program, compile that information into a directory, write a summary report,
and present the findings in a way that can be recorded.
The maximum funding available for this project is $30,000.00, which is inclusive
of all expenses for the project. The Judicial Council intends to award one (1)
Agreement with a term of 10 months, approximately from April 20, 2026,
through February 26, 2027.
