District Court Judge Martin McGee was in attendance and provided an overview as to why we need to address this issue. The primary topic that we addressed was determining who was going to manage the lists and determine criteria for Juvenile, DSS, Involuntary Committments and Child Support cases. After the meeting Wayne Picket, who manages Criminal List, agreed to work on establishing guidelines for these additional lists, with the assistance of John Nance, Christy Wilhelm and Jay White who volunteered during the meeting.

An additional topic was the purchase by the Bar Association of a projector and screen to use for courtroom trials and CLEs.

We have tabled this topic until August to see if that funding is an option.

the District Attorney’s Office would serve as notice to all possible state’s witnesses. Written
notice given to the District Attorney’s Office ten (10) or more days prior to trial shall be deemed
to be a reasonable time prior to trial although a shorter notice may be sufficient depending upon
all circumstances.

RULE 15: MOTIONS FOR CONTINUANCE -- JUVENILE CASES
For an abused or neglected child, the courts are his or her source of protection and the

rehabilitation. The goal of a case management plan for juvenile court is to put the courts in the
best position to ensure the safety of children, and to give them the best possible chance of living in
stable, permanent families. Therefore, a continuance should be allowed only when it serves the
child’s best interest. Participants must come to court prepared to meet each statutory obligation
that is required for resolution of these matters.
Accordingly, juvenile cases, including motions for review in neglect and abuse matters,
should be disposed at the earliest opportunity, including the first setting for hearing. Requests for
continuances that are made after the first setting for hearing on the merits of the case shall only be
granted for extraordinary cause.
