On September 29, 2014, The National Judicial College held a reception in the beautiful Upper Great Hall at the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington D.C. Nearly 200 NJC donors, supporters, participants, faculty, Board of Trustees and Board of Visitors attended the event and heard remarks by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
