Our speaker today was Aviva Abramovsky who is the President and CEO of the National Judicial College. The NJC is a non-profit educational institution that is affiliated with the University of Nevada, Reno. The NJC trains judges so that they can better perform their duties as a judge. Most of the attendees are local and state judges (the Federal court system has its own judge training system). There are also students from other countries who attend the NJC.
Most of the instructors are volunteer current and retired judges, and law school faculty members. The NJC also offers master's and Ph.D. degrees in cooperation with the University of Nevada, Reno.
