Minimum Education Requirements and Expectations

Participants in the 2007 Bernard E. Witkin Judicial College of California.

The Judicial Council approved minimum education requirements for trial court judges and subordinate judicial officers, court executive officers, managers, supervisors, and court personnel, effective 2007.

Similar requirements were approved for justices, clerk/administrators, managing attorneys, supervisors, and staff of the California Supreme Court and the state Courts of Appeal, effective 2008.

The new requirements are part of a comprehensive continuing education program developed by the AOC's Education Division/Center for Judicial Education and Research (CJER), one of the leading educational organizations of its kind in the nation.
