Description:
The Judicial Council of California’s Center for Families, Children & the Courts seeks information from current FFDRP or DRAFT‑funded juvenile dependency court‑appointed counsel about their capacity and interest to mentor law‑student interns during the summer of 2026. Respondents must outline recruitment, DEI‑focused training, mentorship, intern tasks, confidentiality safeguards, and performance‑feedback processes, and confirm that supervising attorneys meet stringent experience criteria. Interns will work 240‑400 hours, be paid at least the state minimum wage, and must attend at least two cohort meetings with the Council. • Eligibility limited to FFDRP‑ or DRAFT‑funded dependency providers with ≥7 years legal experience (or equivalent credential). • Internship slots limited by firm size (1‑5 interns total). • Required deliverables include a detailed program framework, mentor qualifications, curriculum, and DEI strategies. • No contract award is implied; this is purely an information‑gathering request.

Budget Estimate (AI):

$5,000 – $15,000

The solicitation does not specify any direct payment to participating firms; the intern wages are funded by the Judicial Council. However, firms may receive indirect reimbursement for supervision hours under Title IV‑E funding or may bill for administrative support. Assuming an average of 300 intern hours at $25 /hour (typical for legal‑sector intern rates) and 20 % overhead for supervision, the firm could earn roughly $7,500 per intern. With up to 5 interns, the range would be approximately $5,000 (single‑intern scenario) to $15,000 (full‑capacity scenario).
