"I feel priviliged to have had the opportunity to learn from the distinguished, experienced judges who serve on the faculty at the NJC."

-- Hon. Lisa L. Neeper
Reading, PA

"It is my strong belief that The National Judicial College experience early in a judge's career will lay the proper foundation for excellence on the bench."

-- Hon. Tom King, Jr.
Birmingham, AL

"Sitting on the bench requires a different set of skills and a different perspective from that of a litigator. The courses at the NJC enhance the skills required of a trial judge and focus exclusively on the judicial perspective."

-- Hon. Caryl Privett
Birmingham, AL

"The curriculum covered the spectrum of issues confronting trial judges in civil, criminal and domestic relation cases."

-- Hon. Robert S. Vance, Jr.
Birmingham, AL

"It was wonderful to be able to come home and share with my colleagues the many things that I learned, and to be able to get them excited about finding ways to send other judges."

-- Hon. Sarah Lisenby
Chesterfield, SC
