The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee of the Judicial Council of California provides oversight for the Center for Families, Children & the Courts and all related projects. The committee identifies issues and concerns confronting judicial administration regarding family and juvenile procedure, practice, and case management and makes recommendations to the Judicial Council for appropriate solutions and responses. On an ongoing basis the advisory committee (1) reviews pending legislation and makes recommendations as to whether the council should support or oppose it, (2) reviews suggestions from the public for improving the administration of family and juvenile cases and recommends appropriate action to the council or one of its committees, and (3) proposes to the council changes in rules, forms, and standards for family and juvenile cases.
