The North Carolina Judicial College was founded in 2005 to expand the education and training the School of Government has provided to judicial branch officials since its founding in 1931. And expand we have! Last year we offered nearly 50 continuing education courses that provided more than 700 hours of continuing education credit. Those courses include orientation programs, classes focused on discrete topics of interest, experiential learning opportunities, skills-based training, and leadership seminars. They are offered to an array of judicial officials, including trial and appellate court judges, magistrates, and clerks of court.
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new course catalog, which organizes our offerings by type of court official, sets forth the requirements for various types of certifications, and explains the continuing education requirements for magistrates, judges, and justices. It also contains a list of faculty with areas of expertise and contact information as well as a few photos of judicial officials you may recognize. Please take a look!
