Serving Justice Through Judicial Education

Judicial Education to Improve a Nation

To meet the ever-increasing needs of the judicial branch, the NJC has created the Pillars of Justice Fund to provide our nation’s judiciary with innovative, results-oriented programs and professional development. The NJC must be able to enhance and update its courses and programs as well as provide new and innovative solutions to enable judges to adequately meet the everyday challenges they face in their courtrooms. This is why we have been reaching out to law firms and corporations for support. Together, we can implement new programs and services that can bring positive change to our court system.
