Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye of NewYork delivered the following address to the Millennium Conference of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges in Washington, D.C., on November 15, 1999. In it, she describes the development of the philosophy of the family court in the past century. Judge Kaye describes the family court’s transition from reliance on social science to the incorporation of procedural due process guarantees in the Gault decision. She suggests that a further transformation is required to meet the needs of children and families in the 21st century. Judge Kaye proposes that in the next millennium the family court abandon the “remote adjudicator” judge who evolved after Gault to a “problem-solving model of judging . . . a judge who looks at the issues that are driving the caseload, who looks at the results that are being achieved, and who uses a hands-on style to figure out how we might do better both in individual cases and on a systemic level.” The New York Times described Chief Justice Kaye as, “A dedicated and effective reformer of the state’s sprawling court system. Each of her hard won changes has had a positive impact.” Chief Judge Kaye recently received the National Center for State Courts’William H. Rhenquist Award for Judicial Excellence in November 1999. On the occasion of the award, Roger K.Warren, president of the National Center, observed about her, “There are many who areworking hard to better process the many cases that come before the state courts, but there are few working an harder or more successfully to better serve the people who use the state courts.”
