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.

The 2026 Spring Conference will be in beautiful Indian Wells where you will enjoy substantive updates, sessions of interest for both retired and active judicial officers, Qualifying Ethics, and the spring legislative update. This year's "Planning Your Retirement" session will be divided into two sessions - one focusing on planning for retirement within the next ten years and the other is for judges newer to the bench - as it is never too early to start planning!
