The Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice (FACJJ) held an in-person meeting on October 19–20, 2015. Jim Moeser, Acting Chair, presided.


The committee presented its 2015 recommendations to Administrator Listenbee. They covered three primary areas of concern:

  • Expungement, sealing, and confidentiality of records
  • Research and publications
  • Legislation

Administrator Listenbee thanked FACJJ members for their recommendations and assured the committee that OJJDP would map out ways of incorporating them into its future work, as it has historically done with previous recommendations.

FACJJ also welcomed four new primary members:

  • Aileen Artero (Guam)
  • Judge Vernon C.R. Daniels (Nebraska)
  • Judge Amy Davenport (Vermont)
  • Dr. Justin “Jay” Miller (Kentucky)

Lisa Jacobs (Illinois), a new alternate member attended. Two other alternate members were selected but did not attend. They are:

  • Timothy M. Brurud (Montana)
  • Dr. Gregory A. Parks (Oklahoma)


Minutes of the meeting will be available on the Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice website in the coming weeks.


FACJJ meetings are open to the public; anyone may register to attend and observe.

The Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice is a consultative body established by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended (Section 223), and is supported by OJJDP. Composed of members of state advisory groups on juvenile justice, the committee advises the President and Congress on matters related to juvenile justice, evaluates the progress and accomplishments of juvenile justice activities and projects, and advises the OJJDP Administrator on the work of OJJDP.
