RULE 14.02 PROCEDURES AND TIME FRAMES FOR CONTESTED ISSUES The court shall set the matter for hearing in accordance with the time limitations established by law (e.g., Welfare and Institutions Code §334; California Rules of Court, Rule 5.680.) RULE 14.03 MEET AND CONFER REQUIREMENT (A) All counsel shall meet and confer with the court officer assigned by the Department of Child Welfare Services (CWS) and/or the Deputy or Assistant County Counsel assigned to the case. Counsel will have previously met with their respective clients and will be ready to discuss the issues to be resolved. Meet and confer requirements of these rules do not apply to parties representing themselves in propria persona. (B) If the parties are unable to resolve the issues, each party shall advise the other counsel orally or in writing not later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled hearing of the names and addressed of each anticipated witness (addresses of confidential foster parents need not be disclosed). Failure to comply may be cause for preclusion of the witness from testifying. (C) Written reports of expert witnesses, if any, must be disclosed to all parties at least 24 hours in advance of the hearing. RULE 14.04 WRITTEN WAIVER In order to facilitate the taking of admissions or no contest pleas from parents in juvenile dependency proceedings, counsel shall furnish the court, at the time of the plea, a written Judicial Council waiver form which has been discussed with and completed by the parent(s). RULE 14.05 ATTORNEYS FOR PARTIES (A) General Competency Requirement. All attorneys appearing in juvenile dependency proceedings shall, at a minimum, comply with the standards of competence required by California Rules of Court, Rule 5.660. In addition, all attorneys appearing in juvenile proceedings shall comply with the minimum standards of training and experience set forth in these rules. (B) Minimum Standards of Training and Experience. Each attorney appearing in a dependency proceeding shall have either: (1) Within the preceding three (3) years, participated in at least eight (8) hours of training or education in juvenile dependency law as specified in California Rules of Court, Rule 5.660; or (2) At least 24 hours of experience within the preceding year in dependency proceedings in which the attorney has demonstrated competence in the representation of his or her clients in said proceedings. RULE 14.06 AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS The administration of psychotropic drugs to minors who are wards or dependent children of the court shall only occur upon the authorization of a duly licensed physician. A Request for Psychotropic Medication Therapy shall be prepared by the minor’s physician and provided to CWS/Probation for submission to the minor’s parent or guardian to obtain consent, or in the absence of or unwillingness of parent or guardian to consent, to the Juvenile Court in support of an application for authority to administer the medication. The administering physician may initiate or continue the use of such drugs for a five to seven day temporary period (the longer period applicable when the last day occurs on a weekend or court holiday) while Probation or CWS attempts to obtain parental or guardian consent. As soon as it becomes known that the minor, a parent, guardian, parent/guardian’s attorney and/or the minor’s attorney objects to administration of psychotropic drugs, the matter will be set for hearing in the Juvenile Court. In the absence of written objections, the court will review and consider the Request for Psychotropic Medication Therapy, and issue such orders as it deems appropriate within two (2) days after submission. If the minor has been involuntarily detained pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code §5585, et seq., the Juvenile Court and the Superior Court shall have concurrent jurisdiction to issue orders regarding involuntary administration of psychotropic drugs. Prior to issuance of an order for such treatment by the Superior Court, the Court must conduct a hearing pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code §5332 and find that the minor lacks capacity to make an informed decision to refuse the medication.
