The Denver Juvenile Court is a separate trial court within Colorado’s Second Judicial District, serving all of the City and County of Denver. Unlike other judicial districts in Colorado, the Second Judicial District is not a combined court and is comprised of four separate courts: County Court, District Court, Probate Court, and Juvenile Court.
Denver Juvenile Court exists to promote stability and well-being for children and families, to improve safety for children and the community, to ensure that children stay connected to their culture, community and support systems, and to provide fair and equitable access to justice for families.
Denver Juvenile Court is led by a Presiding Judge and is supported by two Juvenile Court Judges, two Juvenile Court Magistrates, a Court Executive, a Clerk of Court, a Family Court Facilitator, and a Chief Probation Officer. Juvenile Court Judges serve six-year terms, consistent with District Court Judges, and are subject to voter retention within the judicial district. Denver Juvenile Court is located at the Lindsey-Flanigan Courthouse, which also houses Denver Criminal Courts, as well as District and County Court proceedings.
