    Effective January 1, 2011, CA enacted a legislative standard for assessing a minor's competency in juvenile court [Welf. & Inst. Code § 709]. This standard raises issues in light of Graham v. Florida (2009) __ U.S. __130 S. Ct. 2011, 176 L. Ed. 2d 825; factors noted by the Graham court, which disfavor children in criminal court, should clearly distinguish the considerations relative to competency and representations in delinquency proceedings.

     

    Kurt Kumli is a California Superior Court Judge for the County of Santa Clara, a former Commissioner on the State Commission on Juvenile Justice, and an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law. He is a juvenile law curriculum advisor for the California Center for Judicial Education and Research (CJER) and serves as one of CJER's primary faculty members for all matters relating to juvenile law and policy. He was instrumental in creating specialized delinquency courts for drug offenders, family violence and restorative justice, was the co-creator of the country's first juvenile mental health court, and implemented 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 teaches delinquency law and policy classes throughout the United States. The National Institute of Justice chose Judge Kumli as a recipient of a John B. Pickett Fellowship at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government for Senior Executives in State and Local Government Program. Judge Kumli has been a member of the California Judicial Council's Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee, an advisory board member for the Berkeley Center for Criminal Justice, the Juvenile Law Chair for the Task Force for Criminal Justice Collaboration on Mental Health Issues, and a faculty member and technical advisor for the California District Attorney's Association where he chaired its Juvenile Justice Committee. He has published numerous articles on gang prosecution, juvenile justice reform, juvenile mental health court and California's adult court certification (Fitness) process.
