Supreme Court Announces April 2008 Judicial College Courses

The Supreme Court of Ohio today announced its April 2008 Judicial College schedule of courses for judges, magistrates, acting judges, court personnel and judicial candidates.

A sampling of the courses for this month includes: security awareness for court personnel; legal and professional principles of pretrial services; and a court education coordinator roundtable. Courses are offered in Columbus, at select locations around the state and via videoconferencing.

Created in 1976 and governed by Gov. Jud. R. V, the Judicial College was established to provide educational programs and activities for Ohio judges. In 1988, the program was expanded to include court referees and magistrates, and in 1990 the college began to provide programs for non-judicial court personnel throughout the state.

To view a complete listing of the most up-to-date course calendar, dates and locations for courses available in April and the remainder of 2008, visit the Judicial College Web site at http://www.supremecourtofohio.gov/judcoll/default.asp.

 “With rules that require a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education for the 721 judges in Ohio every two years and 24 hours for the 798 magistrates, there’s a lot of training delivered in the state,” said Judicial College Director W. Milt Nuzum III. “We take great pride in the fact that 62 percent of the total continuing education Ohio judges reported in 2007 came through the Judicial College.

The schedule for April is copied below. Contact the Judicial College at 614.387.9445 for registration information.
