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.

Join us now, as bench officers from some of these same rich and diverse communities share what their unique experience has been being the “first” bench officer from their particular diverse community to serve on their respective benches and for one, in the entire state.
Hear what being the “first” meant/means to them and to their community. Learn about their unique challenges as the “first” and what they find rewarding in the designation.
10:30 am - 2:30 pm
The Forum will kick off in the morning with a panel of accomplished jurists and will close with Isabel Wilkerson’s keynote address and a moderated Q & A. CJA is proud to have partnered with the California Lawyers Association (CLA) to sponsor the keynote address.
