Resources for Judges and Hearing Officers

The Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission (JCJC) provides judges and juvenile court hearing officers with up-to-date best practices, forms, information, and other materials on current issues and trends from both the state and national perspectives through specialized resources. Several of the resources available are the result of efforts by JCJC staff and/or juvenile justice system stakeholders, while others are the result of work completed by nationally renowned researchers and practitioners. These resources exist to advance judges’ and juvenile court hearing officers’ knowledge and expertise, and to enhance their skills when interacting with juvenile probation officers, service providers, juvenile justice system stakeholders, victims and victim advocates, and youth and their families.
