“I am extremely proud to have been chosen to be a judge for the Community Court. Keeping our teens on the right path is vitally important for their well being, as well as the entire community. By keeping them out of the more punitive juvenile system, our teens still learn personal and civic responsibility without the harsh and often counter-productive punishments imposed upon them from the juvenile courts. While the Community Court judges play an important role in counseling the teens before them, the true unrecognized “heroes” behind the success of the Community Court are the staff members who run the every day operations of the Court.”

“Truly amazing” best describes the work a few people have done for the benefit of so many – I am speaking of the staff of the Santa Clarita Community Court! It is a privilege to work with such dedicated people who provide not only an alternative to formal juvenile court proceedings, but more importantly, instill a deep sense of responsibility to youthful offenders who are deserving of a “second chance.” The uniqueness of the Santa Clarita Community Court program speaks to the quality and professionalism of those people who devote so much to its continuing success!
