California Rules of Court: Title Five Rules
(4)  In determining whether to authorize inspection or release of juvenile case files, in whole or in part, the court must balance the interests of the child and other parties to the juvenile court proceedings, the interests of the petitioner, and the interests of the public.
(5)  If the court grants the petition, the court must find that the need for access outweighs the policy considerations favoring confidentiality of juvenile case files. The confidentiality of juvenile case files is intended to protect the privacy rights of the child.
(6)  The court may permit access to juvenile case files only insofar as is necessary, and only if petitioner shows by a preponderance of the evidence that the records requested are necessary and have substantial relevance to the legitimate need of the petitioner.
(7)  If, after in camera review and review of any objections, the court determines that all or a portion of the juvenile case file may be accessed, the court must make appropriate orders, specifying the information that may be accessed and the procedure for providing access to it
(8)  The court may issue protective orders to accompany authorized disclosure, discovery, or access.
(Subd (d); amended effective September 1, 2020; adopted as subd (e); previously amended effective January 1, 2007, and January 1, 2009; amended and relettered effective January 1, 2018.)(e)	Release of case file information for research (§ 872.12(a)(2))
The court may authorize a chief probation officer to access and provide data contained in juvenile delinquency case files and related juvenile records in the possession of the probation department for the purpose of data sharing or conducting or facilitating research on juvenile justice populations, practices, policies, or trends if the court finds the following:
(1)  The research, evaluation, or study includes a sound method for the appropriate protection of the confidentiality of an individual whose juvenile delinquency case file is accessed for this purpose. In considering whether a method is sound, the court must have information on:
(A)  The names and qualifications of any nonprobation personnel who will have access to personally identifying information as defined in Civil Code section 1798.79.8(b);
(B)  Procedures to mask personally identifying information that is shared electronically; and
Amber Alert
 
 

In 2002, Assembly Bill 415 (Government Code section 8594) was signed into law and mandated that AMBER Alert plans be implemented statewide and charged the CHP as the statewide coordinator for all AMBER Alerts. 

​​AMBER Alert CriteriaIn order for an AMBER Alert to be activated, the following criteria must be met (Government Code section 8594): 1. Confirmation that an abduction has occurred or a child was taken by anyone, including, but not limited to, a custodial parent or guardian.2. The victim is 17 years of age or younger, or an individual with a proven mental or physical disability.3. The victim is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death.4. There is information available that, if disseminated to the public, could assist in the safe recovery of the victim.

​​Does the AMBER Alert program work?Since 2002 the AMBER Alert has been activated over 320 times, involving  over 380 victims.  With the public’s assistance, we have safely recovered 97% of those children.  The program definitely works and its getting better every year.  The drive to continue to develop new tools and resources comes from those we were not able to recover.  Their story and legacy continues as a constant reminder to make the program the best it can be to benefit future children whose lives are in danger.  Every member of the community can play an important role in safely recovering a child.  If you witness a child abduction or have information about one that has occurred, call 911 immediately to report it.  Be prepared to provide the location of the abduction, descriptions of the child and suspect, and make, model, color, and license plate number (if possible) of any vehicle involved.  Even the smallest piece of information can be the piece that leads to a successful recovery.

​Why are AMBER Alerts issued when a parent, guardian, or close family member is involved?This is the most common question we receive because a majority of the AMBER Alerts issued involve a parent, guardian or close family relative.  AMBER Alerts are the most serious alerts we can issue involving children.  For it to qualify, there must be specific evidence that the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death.  As difficult as it is to think a parent or guardian could commit such a terrible act, it does happen.

2001 Budget Analysis Department of the Youth Authority (5460)
and 14 percent is for parole and community services. Of the remaining 13 percent of total funds, 12 percent is for the Youth
Authority's education program, and the remainder for general administration.
Ward Population 
Who Is in the Youth Authority? 
There are several ways that an individual can be committed to the Youth Authority's institution and camp population including:

Juvenile Court Admissions. The largest number of first-time admissions to the Youth Authority are made by juvenile courts.
As of December 31, 2000, 95.2 percent of the institutional population was committed by the juvenile courts and included
offenders who have committed both misdemeanors and felonies.
Criminal Court Commitments. These courts send juveniles who were tried and convicted as adults to the Youth Authority.
On December 31, 2000, 3.4 percent of the institutional population was juveniles committed by criminal courts.
Corrections Inmates. This segment of the Youth Authority population—1.4 percent of the population in December 2000is
comprised of inmates from the Department of Corrections (CDC). These inmates are referred to as "M cases" because the letter
M is used as part of their Youth Authority identification number. These individuals were under the age of 18 when they were
committed to CDC after a felony conviction in criminal court. Prior to
July 22, 1996, these inmates could have remained in the Youth Authority until they reached the age of 25. Chapter 195, Statutes
of 1996 (AB 3369, Bordonaro) restricts Youth Authority commitment for future M cases to only those CDC inmates who are
under the age of 18 at the time of sentencing. The new law requires that M cases be transferred to the CDC at age 18, unless
their earliest possible release date comes before their 21st birthday.
Parole Violators. These are parolees who violate a condition of parole and are returned to the Youth Authority. In addition,
some parolees are recommitted to the Youth Authority if they commit a new offense while on parole. 

Characteristics of the Youth Authority Wards. Wards in Youth Authority institutions are predominately male, 19 years old on
average, and come primarily from Southern California.
Bill Text - SB-421 Sex offenders: registration: criminal offender record information systems.
The district attorney in the county where the petition is filed may, within 30 60 days of receipt of the report from either the registering law enforcement agency, the law enforcement agency of the county
	of conviction of a registerable offense if different than the county where the petition is filed, or the district attorney of the county of conviction of a registerable offense, request a hearing on the petition if the petitioner has not fulfilled the requirement described in subdivision (e) of Section 290, or if community safety would be significantly enhanced by the person’s continued registration. If no hearing is requested, the petition for termination shall be granted if the court finds the required proof of current registration is presented in the petition, provided that the registering agency reported that the person met the requirement for termination pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 290, there are no pending charges against the person which could extend the time to complete the registration requirements of the tier or change the person’s tier status, and the person is not in custody
	or on parole, probation, or supervised release.(3) If the district attorney requests a hearing, he or she shall be entitled to present evidence regarding whether community safety would be significantly enhanced by requiring continued registration. In determining whether to order continued registration, the court may consider: the nature of the registerable offense; the age and number of victims; whether any victim was a stranger at the time of the offense (known to the offender for less than 24 hours); criminal and relevant noncriminal behavior before and after conviction for the registerable offense; the time period during which the person has not reoffended; successful completion, if any, of a Sex Offender Management Board-certified sex offender treatment program; and the person’s current risk of sexual or violent reoffense,
	including the person’s risk levels on SARATSO static, dynamic, and violence risk assessment instruments, if available. Any judicial determination made pursuant to this section may be heard and determined upon declarations, affidavits, police reports, or any other evidence submitted by the parties which is reliable, material, and relevant.

Notice to Employer - Right to time off


 Section 230(a) of the Labor Code reads: No employer shall discharge or in any manner discriminate against an employee for taking time off to serve as
 required by law on an inquest or trial jury, if such employee prior to taking such time off, gives reasonable notice to the employer that he is required to serve.
 

 Employers are not required by law to compensate employees with their regular wages while on jury duty. Many employers do have jury benefits and will continue
 wages while serving.
 

Juror Fees

No fees or mileage are paid for the first day of service.

 $15 per day and 34¢ per mile, roundtrip from the juror's home to the courthouse are paid for second and additional days of service.
 Jurors employed by government agencies or districts receive regular salary during service, therefore no juror fees are paid to those
 jurors pursuant to provisions of the law.

You can file your claim on the first day of your disability, but to avoid creating delays on your claim, losing benefits, or having your claim disqualified, you should file your claim:

No earlier than nine days after your disability begins.
No later than 49 days after your disability begins.

If you have a good reason for filing late, please provide that explanation when you file your claim so the claims analyst can review your information to make a determination.

Jury Info | Superior Court of California | County of Tulare
Even an inadvertent violation of the instruction would be a violation of your oath as a juror.
If you believe that someone purposely has tried to speak to you concerning the case, it is your duty to report the incident to the judge immediately. This responsibility prevents you from having any conversation about the case with the lawyers, witnesses, or anyone else connected with the case. The lawyers understand this rule, and you will find that, even at the risk of seeming unfriendly, they will avoid even a casual conversation with you. In order to prevent even the appearance of an improper conversation, a wise policy for you to follow is to avoid any contact with these persons. Please be sure to wear your badge so you will be recognized as a juror.
By the same principle, it would be a violation of your duty as a juror to conduct any investigation of the case. As a juror, you must not become an amateur detective. For instance, you must not visit the scene of an accident, an alleged crime, or any event or transaction involved in the case. Neither should you conduct experiments or consult any other person or reference works for additional information. If the judge feels that an inspection of a place is necessary or will be helpful, he or she will arrange and supervise an inspection by the whole jury.
The Trial
As the trial begins, the lawyer for the plaintiff in a civil case, or the prosecutor in a criminal case, may make an opening statement telling you what they expect the evidence to show. The defendant's lawyer may choose to give an opening statement after the plaintiff or prosecutor rests, telling you what the defense expects the evidence to show. These statements of the lawyers are not evidence. Their purpose is to give you the framework of the case, the points of conflict, and the issues of the case to be decided by you. Be careful that you do not let any facts presented in the opening statements become evidence in your mind, because statements by the lawyers are not evidence.
You are not to consider as evidence any statement of counsel unless you are otherwise instructed by the court.

Frequently asked questions about infraction trials

How long will the trial take?

You should plan to be at court for three hours or more on the day of trial as the court will have many cases on its calendar. The time your case is being heard by the court will likely be an hour or less unless there are many witnesses or complications. Remember to check your trial date, department, and time.

Should I bring my evidence?

If you have photos, diagrams, reports, or any other exhibits which you plan to present at the time of the trial, bring them with you on your trial date.

Should my witnesses appear?

If you have witnesses that are necessary to your defense, you should have them subpoenaed to appear in court. You can obtain the subpoena form from the Clerk's Office. Do this well in advance of your trial date. Complete the subpoena form, have the subpoena served, and file the subpoena and the proof of service with the court on or before your trial date.

What happens when I go to court?

Report directly to the Department in which your trial has been scheduled. The bailiff or clerk will give some preliminary instructions and then check in those people appearing in court. A judicial officer will then hear the case. The court will listen to the statements of the sworn witnesses against you and may question each witness. You may then present your case to the court. The court will then rule on the matter or take the matter under submission. If the court takes the matter under submission, you will be notified by mail of the court's ruling and, if found guilty, you will be informed of the sentence imposed.

What if I am found not guilty?

If you are found not guilty, any bail deposit will be returned by mail within 60 days.

What if I do not appear at the time of trial?

Your trial can be heard without you present (in abstentia). If you are found guilty, any bail will be forfeited.
