Overview
The Fall & Spring Sessions of the Texas Judicial Academy offer an incremental curriculum of comprehensive judicial education.  Experienced Judges and other judicial professionals present classes designed to help Constitutional County Judges carry out their judicial duties in probate, criminal, juvenile, civil and mental cases, special DWI courts and understand the rules of evidence.

Objectives
Judges who successfully complete this program will gain an increased knowledge of search and seizure issues, sentencing options, hearsay, pre-trial procedures, probate hearings, mental health problems, juvenile detention hearings, innovation in dealing with DWI cases, and develop judicial leadership.

Judicial Education Credit

Each Spring and Fall Judicial Education session provides 16 hours of Judicial Education credit for Constitutional County Judges.  Application is pending with the State Bar of Texas to determine MCLE credit for attorneys.

Reimbursement
This program is partially funded by a Judicial and Court Personnel Training Fund Grant administered by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.  Judges may be reimbursed for attendance at ONE Texas Judicial Academy session (Spring or Fall session, computer class, special video production class) or Texas Probate College session per fiscal year.  This reimbursement will cover grant allowable transportation, meals and lodging.
