    Seiser, Gary C.


    Gary C. Seiser is one of California's leading authorities on juvenile dependency law and practice, and is certified as a Child Welfare Law Specialist by the State Bar of California and the National Association of Counsel for Children. He is a supervising deputy with the Juvenile Dependency Division of the San Diego County Office of County Counsel. Mr. Seiser is also a member of the California Blue Ribbon Commission on Children in Foster Care, serves as a consultant on the Judicial Benchguides for dependency hearings published by the California Center for Judicial Education and Research (CJER), and has served as faculty for CJER, the California Judges Association, and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges.

    Mr. Seiser was the recipient of California Lawyer magazine's California Lawyer of the Year (CLAY) award in Juvenile Law for 2002. His published works include articles for the American Bar Association Child Law Practice and a chapter in The Handbook of Juvenile Forensic Psychology (2002). Mr. Seiser's writing has been cited by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the California Supreme Court, and numerous California appellate courts.

    Mr. Seiser has more than forty-five published decisions including In re Lucero L. (2000) 22 Cal. 4th 1227, 96 Cal. Rptr. 2d 56, 998 P.2d 1019, In re Kieshia E. (1993) 6 Cal. 4th 68, 23 Cal. Rptr. 2d 775, 859 P.2d 1290, and Cynthia D. v. Superior Court (1993) 5 Cal. 4th 242, 19 Cal. Rptr. 2d 698, 851 P.2d 1307. A former Commissioner of the Riverside County Superior Court assigned to the Juvenile Court and a former prosecutor, Mr. Seiser also served as a member of the SB 1195 Task Force that rewrote much of California's dependency law through Senate Bill 243 [Stats. 1987, ch. 1485]. He is a frequent public speaker throughout California on juvenile dependency law and practice.

    Kumli, Kurt


    Judge Kumli has served on the Santa Clara County Superior Court since 2006. Prior to his elevation to the bench, Judge Kumli served as the Chief Deputy District Attorney in charge of Juvenile Delinquency and Dependency in the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. His 15 years of prosecutorial experience include several of the highest profile juvenile delinquency cases in California history. In addition to his work in the courtroom, Judge Kumli has been instrumental in the creation of specialized delinquency courts for drug offenders, family violence, restorative justice and mental health. He also created Santa Clara's juvenile deferred entry of judgment (DEJ) process, which now accounts for nearly 30% of all first time court referrals in that county.

    A nationally recognized expert on juvenile law and policy, Judge Kumli serves on the faculty at San Jose State University and the National District Attorneys Association's National Advocacy Center. The National Institute of Justice has chosen Judge Kumli as its most recent recipient of a John B. Pickett Fellowship at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government for Senior Executives in State and Local Government Program. He is a member of the California Judicial Council's Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee, and a faculty member and technical advisor for the California District Attorney's Association where he has also been chairing its Juvenile Justice Committee. In 2008, Chief Justice Ronald M. George appointed Judge Kumli as the judicial representative on the California State Commission on Juvenile Justice.

    Judge Kumli speaks frequently at seminars including the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and the California Juvenile Officers' Association. His involvement with at risk youth in the community as well as in the courtroom was documented at length in the book ``Somebody Else's Children'' by Pulitzer Prize winning author John Hubner. Judge Kumli has published numerous articles on gang prosecution, juvenile justice reform, juvenile mental health court and California's adult court certification (Fitness) process.
