Former Judge Critical Of Juvenile System
By SANDY HUNTER
Kansan Staff Writer
"There is no juvenile justice system in Kansas. What we have is 105 counties going 105 different directions," Washburn University professor of law and former Probate and Juvenile Court judge, Donald Roland said Thursday.
For the finest in lightweight trail boots, see the Alps from Fabiano, a durable yet versatile boot that features a sturdy midsole for long wear and padded lining for comfort and warmth. The navy and gray for men and women, the red and green for women, $25.
Roland, speaking at the 10th annual seminar on juvenile delinquency prevention and control, addressed Juvenile Court judges, probation officers, social workers, law enforcement officers and students in "The Future of the Juvenile Court."
Juvenile Court judges face a variety of problems, he said. For example, a judge is totally dependent on outside sources of information from the county commissioners made by the county commissioners.
"Often times the court lacks resources to make reasonable decisions. There are increasing caseloads with no increase in funds." Roland said.
Another problem is that a judge is up for re-election every two years and is subject to attack from all sides, Roland said. A judge is subjected to hostility from the press, the general public, the Supreme Court and opposing candidates.

In addition, the Juvenile Court is at the bottom of the judicial hierarchy with no requirements for obtaining the judgeship in most counties, he said. As a rule salaries are low and court employees do not have tenure.
He said that functions of the court were difficult to define and that statutes were formed in broad vague terms. It is the only case where such a rule was caseload, he said, therefore a Juvenile
court judge can decide what cases he will hear.
Juvenile Court judges have the statutory duty to make a preliminary investigation, Roland said. They authorize the petition to be filed before a hearing, set the hearing date and preside over the hearing. They also determine the disposition of the case.
Rights recently established for juveniles include the right to be notified of the charge against him, the right of counsel at a parole hearing, and the right to remain silent. He was acquitted in 1975 but that juveniles had the rights of "due process of law," afforded to criminal cases.
Juvenile Courts come under civil law in Kansas. Roland said the courts were beginning to give juvenile courts the processes of law prescribed for criminal
In the future, according to Roland, a narrowing of the juvenile courts' jurisdiction
"We don't need to go to a criminal system (or juvenile). Other alternatives are available."
Roland said juvenile courts should not be a dumping ground for society's ills. They are not suited to run prevention programs and rehabilitation systems, he said.
The new judicial article in the Kansas Constitution calls for a unified court system. Roland said he hoped the juvenile court system would come under the jurisdiction of the district courts, which would also be the Juvenile Court system in Kansas.
He said the court's function must be defined in limited terms. It should be a system to provide services to children and not a "curse-all" for children's problems.
She's fallen for your line.
Now come have a look at ours.
