Every three years there is a review of existing Youth Advocates lists.

The Registrar of each court is responsible for the administration and organisation of such review. The Registrar will send a letter to all Youth Advocates currently on the Youth Advocate list, asking them to indicate whether or not they wish to remain on the list.

The list will then be reviewed by a Review Panel. The composition of this Panel is set out in s3.3 of the Appointment and Review Procedures for Youth Advocates promulgated by the Principal Youth Court Judge, the Administrative Youth Court Judges and the Youth Justice sub-committee of the New Zealand Law Society in December 2006.

The role of the Review Panel is:
• To recommend to the Regional Administrative Youth Court Judge who should be included, or continue to be included, in the list of Youth Advocates for the Court in question; and
• If any existing Youth Advocate should be removed from the list.

The Panel shall consider:
• The recent performance of the Youth Advocate;
• The regularity of appearances by the Youth Advocate in the Youth Court;
• Any complaints that have been received about the Youth Advocate;
• The extent to which the Youth Advocate has attended and participated in local, regional, national Youth Advocate training seminars/workshops;
• Any other matters that it may consider to be relevant.

The Review Panel is not bound by any presumption of reappointment of current Youth Advocates to the reviewed list. Over time, the composition of the list will change so that the most suitable applicants or re-applicants at that time are included or re-included. On review, the Panel is to balance the need for continuing experience and demonstrated suitability against the applications of other counsel fresh to the list but nonetheless with s323(2) criteria and the more specific prescriptive talents and abilities enumerated in paragraph 3.5 of the Review Procedures.

If you have not received a letter from the Registrar advising of this Triennial Review, further application forms may be obtained by contacting Marilyn Wilson, Registrar, North Shore District Court (marilyn.wilson@justice.govt.nz) or Debbie Masani, Registrar, Waitakere District Court (debbie.masani@justice.govt.nz.) before 13 February 2009.

Application forms must be received by the Court by 5pm Friday 13 February 2009.
