judicial education

Caseflow Management has changed very much over the past ten years with new technology and different types of specialty courts. We began a process of reviewing and updating our four-day course, Effective Caseflow Management. We are working with the Justice Management Institute’s Vice President, Tim Dibble. The updated course will be piloted in July, 2015 and we will evaluate the results.

The National Judicial College provides scholarships to enable judges and other court service professionals to attend judicial education courses at NJC. We announce the availability of scholarships to the chief justice of every state, to the state court administrators, to the state judicial educators, and directly to the judges. The judges apply using a Scholarship Application form and we review their application based upon need, geographic diversity, educational record and eligibility for the course. We require scholarship recipients to attend all sessions and to provide an evaluation.

The National Tribal Judicial Center at The National Judicial College awards financial assistance to judges and other court service professionals from tribal courts to enable them to receive continuing education to improve their tribal justice systems.
