Description
The Judicial Council of California’s Center for Families, Children and the Courts (CFCC) seeks a qualified contractor to develop a comprehensive, ADA‑compliant bench guide for California judges handling jurisdictional and physical transfer hearings in juvenile justice cases. The contractor will research statutes, case law, and procedural rules; produce checklists, scripts, and reference tables; and deliver both print‑ready and digital formats. Collaboration with CFCC attorneys and court partners is required throughout, and an optional one‑day training session may be added.
• Develop a bench guide covering jurisdictional transfer hearings and physical transfer hearings, including procedural checklists, statutory summaries, sample scripts, and evidentiary guidance.
• Produce the guide in ADA‑compliant print and digital formats, with charts, tables, and hyperlinks; deliver a needs‑assessment report (June 1 2026), a draft guide (August 30 2026), and a final guide (November 30 2026).
• Optionally design and deliver a one‑day training session for bench officers (by December 31 2026) if the Council elects to exercise the optional task.
• All work must be completed under a firm‑fixed‑price ceiling of $145,000 and conform to the Council’s standard terms and conditions.
