Trial Skills Training for Juvenile Dependency Court Appointed Counsel

The Judicial Council of California’s Center for Families, Children and the Courts seeks a qualified trainer to design and deliver an interactive, two‑day trial‑skills curriculum for court‑appointed dependency attorneys. The contractor must develop a full curriculum package, conduct the training in San Francisco, provide all logistical support (venue, AV, catering, registration), and offer post‑training evaluation and optional mentoring. Funding is $50,000 for Year 1 with optional extensions for Years 2 and 3 at $80,000 each. • Develop a 12‑hour, highly interactive trial‑skills curriculum tailored to juvenile dependency cases. • Deliver the two‑day training to 25‑50 attorneys in the Council’s San Francisco office, including all venue, AV, catering, and registration services. • Provide curriculum materials, handouts, job‑aids, CEU assistance, and post‑training evaluations; optional mentorship for attendees. • Optionally replicate the training in Years 2 and 3 at other California locations, with a possible one‑day “Beyond the Bench” seminar in Year 3.
