Court Coordination/Dual
Jurisdiction Program
The Court
Coordination/Dual Jurisdiction Program seeks to provide more options
for the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court through coordination of
services at all levels (local, parish, state, federal and private)
for youth dually involved in the Child in Need of Care, Juvenile
Delinquency systems and youth who are at imminent risk of being
removed from the home.
Research
demonstrates that youth involved in the abuse and neglect system
pose a higher risk for engaging in delinquent behavior as a direct
result of abuse and neglect. To decrease the risk for delinquent
behavior Orleans Parish Juvenile Court will coordinate the
disposition of all dual jurisdiction youth in conformity with One
Family One Judge to better service the youth in both systems.
The Court
Coordinator will work on behalf of the court and be responsible for
screening and assessing cases for participation in the program,
identifying and assessing available community based services,
planning and coordinating services among agencies and monitoring the
progress of youth in the program.
