Established in 1949, it is published by Wiley for the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) and has continuously provided a platform for empirical research, policy analysis, and professional dialogue. The journal focuses on issues of critical importance to courts and justice systems handling cases involving children, youth, and families. Its scope includes juvenile delinquency, child abuse and neglect, dependency court practices, domestic violence, substance abuse, child custody and visitation, and judicial leadership. By integrating rigorous academic research with practice-oriented content, it informs judges, attorneys, social service professionals, and policymakers about evolving trends, best practices, and evidence-based interventions. Topics often explore how legal frameworks shape outcomes for individuals and families, the effectiveness of intervention programs, and the implications of research for policy and practice improvements. The journal’s interdisciplinary nature allows it to draw from law, social sciences, psychology, and public policy, making it a valuable resource for both academic inquiry and real-world application. Through its quarterly issues, the Juvenile and Family Court Journal contributes to the advancement of knowledge and practices that promote just and effective outcomes for children and families within the justice system.
