Juvenile stakeholders discussed better meeting the needs of Hall County’s foster children in a meeting held Friday at the CASA Little House on Washington Street in Gainesville. Judge Cliff Jolliff, who serves on the Juvenile Court of the Northeastern Judicial Circuit covering Hall and Dawson counties, noted that looming over stakeholders’ heads is a juvenile justice reform bill in the state House of Representatives that addresses every aspect of the juvenile code. “Each of these departments represented here would be affected,” he said.
