Judge’s Checklist

Ed Toolkit

This tool provides sample questions and minute order language to support judges as they address the education needs of youth in their courtrooms, and is specifically tailored to the needs of foster and probation youth. In the first section, there are questions that should be addressed at every hearing; later sections address questions that only need to be addressed at hearings on a particular topic, such as hearings following a change in home placement. Based on the answers to the questions, sample language is provided that can be read in to the record and/or input on the minute order.
