Friday

Each course description will be accompanied by one or more two-letter codes to represent the core competencies addressed by the session. The core competencies, as identified by the Judicial Education Requirements Study Committee, and implemented by the Nevada District Judges Association, are:

  • Judicial Office (JO)
  • Judicial Skills (JS)
  • Judicial Knowledge (JK)
  • Judicial Administration (JA)

Following the recommendations of the Judicial Education Requirements Study Committee, to provide a framework for curriculum-based educational planning, the AOC will identify the core competencies addressed by each course offered at a seminar. Eight of the annually required 12 continuing education credits are intended to be drawn from core competency-linked sessions, in accordance with the committee’s recommendations. The Judicial Education Unit of the AOC will be developing methods to track judges’ credits in core competency areas. Details will be developed with the NDJA Education Committee and promulgated when available.
