- MASTER CALENDAR
Continuing judicial education is a cornerstone of CJA's program. Approximately 800 judges a year attend the professional seminars offered during the Association's fall Annual Meeting, the Midyear Conference in the spring, an annual Retired Judges Conference, the Rural Judges Forum, and an annual litigation program in conjunction with The Rutter Group. Also offered is a two-week foreign study program for members and guests. Previous locations include Israel; Oxford University; Morelia, Mexico; and Veracruz, Mexico.
These programs offer unique opportunities for bench officers to attend judicial education and network with their peers in a collegial atmosphere. Please Note: You must be logged in as a member to see some items on the Master Calendar and to have access to Member Only registration and information.

During this program, representatives from judicial affiliate organizations from around the state will speak about the progress that has been made over the past few years to move the cause of diversity, equity and inclusion forward, as well as well as exploring what still needs to be done. The discussion will hopefully provide an opportunity for participants to share their personal experiences over the past few years, good, bad, frustrating and inspiring, with the hope that we will all be encouraged to keep moving forward.
Rather than break out groups, after the initial presentations, we hope to provide an open mic format for all who wish to share in a respectful and productive manner.
