Description

The Judicial Council of California (Council), chaired by the Chief Justice of California, is the chief policy making agency of the California judicial system. The California Constitution directs the Council to improve the administration of justice by surveying judicial business, recommending improvements to the courts, and making recommendations annually to the Governor and the Legislature. The Council also adopts rules for court administration, practice, and procedure, and performs other functions prescribed by law. The Judicial Council’s Center for Families, Children and the Courts (CFCC) supports programs in court settings that improve practice and services for children, youth, parents, families and other court users.

The Judicial Council of California seeks the services of an entity with expertise in trial skills training to provide training for court appointed dependency attorneys to improve their confidence, effectiveness and advocacy when representing children. The successful candidate will have been trained through the National Institute of Trial Advocacy and provide these trainings in a similar format. The training must be conducted in a format that is highly interactive and participatory with opportunities for attendees to practice and receive individual feedback from the instructor(s). The funding available for this project is $50,000 for Year 1, $80,000 for Year 2 and $80,000 for Year 3, if option years 2 and 3 are executed. The funding shall include all expenses associated with faculty travel and deliverables. Funding is not to be used for attendee travel, or other benefits beyond providing the training to attendees at no cost. The work for Year 1 is expected to begin on April 15, 2026, and the first training shall be completed by June 30, 2026.

Questions should be directed to solicitations@jud.ca.gov(link sends email) and must be received no later than 3:00 pm, Pacific Time on March 12, 2026.

Proposals must be received by the Judicial Council no later than 3:00 pm, Pacific Time on March 23, 2026.
