Why should I take this course?
Judges should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the rules of evidence that apply in their jurisdiction and be able to apply those rules competently and efficiently. Judges who are well-versed in the applicable rules and who have developed a framework for dealing with evidentiary matters, both fairly and efficiently, can better manage their dockets, while contributing to an overall positive image of the judicial system as an effective dispute resolution mechanism. Participants in this course will not only discuss, review, and reflect upon the rules of evidence, but will also apply them as they would in a courtroom setting.Â
