Description
The Judicial Council of California is gathering information from law firms or individual attorneys that could provide court‑appointed legal representation to parents and conflict‑children in juvenile dependency cases filed in the Santa Clara Superior Court. The RFI seeks insight on firms’ experience, staffing capacity, willingness to represent all or a percentage of the anticipated caseload, and how they would meet the court’s reporting, conflict‑avoidance, and service‑delivery requirements. Respondents must detail their qualifications, attorney biographies, proposed representation model, and anticipated impact on court efficiency.
• Represent parents and conflict‑children in juvenile dependency proceedings (≈1,000‑1,800 parents; 115‑170 children).
• Provide full case management, courtroom advocacy, conflict‑screening, reporting, and participation in the Council’s collections program.
• Submit a single electronic response by June 10, 2026 to [email protected]; no direct contact with Council staff is permitted.
