MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON AND WFSE/ASSOCIATION OF WASHINGTON ASSISTANT ATTORNEYS GENERAL The AGO provides legal advice and representation for DCYF, supporting DCYF’s mission to protect children from abuse and neglect, and to achieve timely permanency for xxxxxx children. The ABA has recognized that a “caseload of over sixty (60) cases is unmanageable” for attorneys serving a child welfare agency. A dependency “case” represents a family, which may include multiple children and parents, and may stretch over several years. In some AGO locations, juvenile caseloads include associated termination or guardianship trials for that family, and lengthy, complex appeals involving research and oversight from senior attorneys statewide. The parties have a shared interest in achieving manageable workloads for AAGs and staff, and agree to work collaboratively to continue the AGO’s efforts to secure funding to achieve manageable caseloads, and to identify any other measures or practices to reduce workloads. The parties agree to include Union representatives in efforts focused on reducing juvenile litigation caseloads, by agreeing to the following:
1. The Union may appoint four (4) representatives from the bargaining unit to the Juvenile Litigation Monitoring workgroup, which meets twice a year specifically to review caseloads and trends, and to problem solve.
2. The Union representatives on the Juvenile Litigation Monitoring workgroup will have the same data access permissions as other committee members.
3. At the union’s request, the parties will have interim meetings with the union juvenile litigation representatives approximately thirty (30) days in advance of each Juvenile Litigation Meeting.
a. All division chiefs managing attorneys in each division will be invited to the interim meetings, and each division will have at least one (1) representative from AGO DCYF management as well as one (1) member of the DCYF headquarters section participate in the interim meetings.
b. The participants may join by telephone or by video conference.
4. The purpose of the interim meetings will be to collaboratively discuss union ideas and suggestions and possible topics for the Juvenile Litigation Monitoring Meeting agenda, to include but not limited to the feasibility of implementing reasonable protected time parameters for work on juvenile litigation appeals.

The parties agree to include Union representatives in efforts focused on reducing juvenile litigation caseloads, by agreeing to the following:
1. The Union may appoint four additional representatives from the bargaining unit to the Juvenile Litigation Monitoring workgroup, which meets twice a year specifically to review caseloads and trends, and to problem solve.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN The AGO provides legal advice and representation for DCYF, supporting DCYF’s mission to protect children from abuse and neglect, and to achieve timely permanency for xxxxxx children. The ABA has recognized that a “caseload of over sixty (60) cases is unmanageable” for attorneys serving a child welfare agency. A dependency “case” represents a family, which may include multiple children and parents, and may stretch over several years. In some AGO locations, juvenile caseloads include associated termination or guardianship trials for that family, and lengthy, complex appeals involving research and oversight from senior attorneys statewide. The parties have a shared interest in achieving manageable workloads for AAGs and staff, and agree to work collaboratively to continue the AGO’s efforts to secure funding to achieve manageable caseloads, and to identify any other measures or practices to reduce workloads. The parties agree to include Union representatives in efforts focused on reducing juvenile litigation caseloads, by agreeing to the following:
1. The Union may appoint four (4) representatives from the bargaining unit to the Juvenile Litigation Monitoring workgroup, which meets twice a year specifically to review caseloads and trends, and to problem solve.
2. The Union representatives on the Juvenile Litigation Monitoring workgroup will have the same data access permissions as other committee members.
3. At the union’s request, the parties will have interim meetings with the union juvenile litigation representatives approximately thirty (30) days in advance of each Juvenile Litigation Meeting.
a. All division chiefs managing attorneys in each division will be invited to the interim meetings, and each division will have at least one (1) representative from AGO DCYF management as well as one (1) member of the DCYF headquarters section participate in the interim meetings.
b. The participants may join by telephone or by video conference.
4. The purpose of the interim meetings will be to collaboratively discuss union ideas and suggestions and possible topics for the Juvenile Litigation Monitoring Meeting agenda, to include but not limited to the feasibility of implementing reasonable protected time parameters for work on juvenile litigation appeals.
