Education, Innovation & Advancing Justice

Support from generous donors has made 2011 a successful year at The National Judicial College. Successes include exceeding expectations in fulfilling our commitment to Education, Innovation, and Advancing Justice.

We are extremely grateful to our donors, our Board of Trustees and our Board of Visitors, who continue to support the College and our important mission despite the impact of the economy that continues to be felt by all. Our nation’s courts continue to be faced with unprecedented budget challenges, and donor support provides resources which allow the NJC to provide scholarship assistance to judges whose states simply do not have education funding. Donor support also allows the NJC to develop new teaching resources appropriate to conduct research and deliver education. Thus, judges continue to receive invaluable education critical to the development of professional skills that are the backbone of fair and impartial justice for all.

We anticipate 2012 to be a challenging year because of the continued budget strains being felt by states and local governments. However, our Program Attorneys, outstanding volunteer Faculty, and Faculty Council have created exceptional course offerings and course content that are updated annually.

Donor support is invaluable and we appreciate your consideration of new or renewed support for the College. An investment can be made through a number or programs, including National Associates of Justice, Circle of Justice, Pillars of Justice Fund and the Legacy Council – each provides important long-term support for the College. There are also opportunities to stretch your gift over a calendar year with our easy-to-set-up monthly donor program, as well as the ability to make a secure and hassle-free gift online.
