Orange County Social Services Agency v. Roger S.green2 sentences1993(In re Roger S., supra, 4 Cal.App.4th at p. 30.) In discussing the focus of the determinations as being in the best interests of the child the court emphasized the importance of the standard stating that “the juvenile court has a special responsibility to the child as parens patriae and must look at the totality of the child’s circumstances." (Id. at pp. 30-31.) The court further distinguished between the juvenile court’s role in determining the best interests of the child and the family law court’s role in determining the best interests of the child as between two parents under Civil Code sec 1993In In re Roger S. (1992) 4 Cal. App.4th 25 [ 5 Cal.

Cree (1981) 123 Cal.App.3d 1013, 1016 [ 177 Cal.Rptr. 54 ], italics added.)

The Supreme Court itself has stressed the significance of this threshold factor: “We emphasize ... the importance of this requirement. . . .

Superior Court, supra, 50 Cal.3d at p. 798, fn. 8 .)

Grafton Partners L.P. v. Superior Court

2 sentences2017Pointing to “firmly rooted” constitutional history, Grafton concluded that, “ ‘unless the Legislature prescribes a jury waiver method, we cannot enforce it.’ ” ( Grafton, supra, 36 Cal.4th at pp. 953, 956.) Other portions of the Grafton court’s analysis underscore the importance of the rule that the Legislature retains sole authority to determine permissible methods of jury waiver. 2017The court rejected a claim that it was “anomalous” to prohibit a “knowing, voluntary, written” predispute waiver of the right to jury trial, given that section 631 permits parties to forfeit the right through their own negligence, such as by failing to file a timely demand for jury trial (§ 631, subd. (f)(4)), or by failing to deposit required fees in a timely manner (§631, subd. (f)(5), (6)). ( Grafton, supra, 36 Cal.4th at pp. 963-964.)
