Describe judicial training or orientation.

What will be an ideal response?


Training and orientation can be either formal or informal. Most states have judicial education programs designed to help new judges adapt to the bench. These programs focus on procedural issues and matters of professionalism rather than items of substantive law. In addition to state programs, the National Judicial College (NJC), located in Reno, NV, provides training in many areas for judges at all levels of experience. In an effort to make this training available to judges from across the country and in jurisdictions with limited financial resources, the NJC offers training seminars and programs on site in Reno as well as over the Internet and through other media.
