Tribal-State Joint Jurisdiction Court Toolkit. A core service provided by CFCC is to promote promising best practices to improve the quality of service to children, families and others that come into contact with the juvenile court system and the California court system in general. Among the promising best practices that have been supported and promoted by the Judicial Council and CFCC are Tribal-State Joint Jurisdiction Courts. In 2015 the Superior Court of California for the County of El Dorado and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Tribal Court entered into an MOU to establish the first joint-jurisdiction Family Wellness Court in California. In 2017 the Judicial Council of California awarded a Court Innovation Grant to the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt to establish a joint-jurisdiction Family Dependency Drug Court in collaboration with the Yurok Tribal Court. Both those courts have been operating successfully since their inception and other jurisdictions are interested in replicating these successful models
