here for the Judicial Studies Degree Program Description from the University
of Nevada, Reno Admission Information For a JSP application, click here Admission
to the Judicial Studies Program (JSP) is limited to graduates of ABA-accredited
law schools who are currently serving full-time on the bench at the time
of application. Upon acceptance, judges may continue to participate in
the program if they retire or are not re-elected. Exceptions may be made
for full-time sitting judges who are graduates of recognized foreign law
schools or graduates of non-accredited American law schools who have been
admitted to the Bar and when it appears that the applicant is otherwise
qualified and would, if accepted, contribute to the success of the program.
Applications to the Judicial Studies program are accepted throughout the
year.The curriculum focuses on judges and their roles and contributions
to American society, and on the improvement of services rendered by judges
in a free society. The curriculum encourages students to become more proficient
in the diagnosis and analysis of problems through the use of techniques
developed by the social, behavioral and natural sciences, as well as by
the humanities. Also, the curriculum requires the study and assimilation
of research techniques used by professionals who testify in court. These
same techniques will be used by students to study issues important to
the advancement of the discipline of judicial studies. Completion
of Coursework To accommodate the trial schedule of students, the program is designed to provide considerable flexibility, as well as maximum use of time spent on campus. Students may take day courses from UNR, which are two weeks in length, the NJC or the NCJFCJ, which are typically one week in length, concurrently with the UNR four-week evening course. Considerable effort has gone into making maximum use of the relatively short time students will spend on campus. Students should expect to spend non-classroom time reading or preparing for end-of-course examinations or projects, both before and after course attendance. The completion of the thesis requirement will be accomplished outside of classes. To receive course credit, students should expect to attend each course in its entirety and schedule travel plans accordingly. University
