Overview
The Fall Education Session of the Texas Judicial Academy will give you an excellent opportunity to learn and fellowship with judges from across the state and discuss a wide range of topics that impact your judicial duties. The Education Committee has designed a curriculum that will not only constitute an in-depth review of core topics, but will also highlight legislative changes, and introduce you to several new, cutting-edge programs being used successfully in other jurisdictions.
Learning Outcomes
Topics to be addressed include:
- Presiding over Civil Appeals from J.P. Court
- Juvenile offenses from arrest to disposition
- The 24/7 Program - a low-cost, groundbreaking program to monitor drug and alcohol offenders
- Judicial ethics
- Proven principles for dealing with hard-core DWI defendants
- Learn when your actions are protected by judicial immunity
- An in-depth review of the changes to the Probate and Guardianship Codes
- Important changes from the last legislative session to criminal and civil statutes
- Probation violations, sanctions, and the revocation hearing
- How to comply with a request for findings of fact and conclusions of law
Judicial Education Credit
Each spring and fall Judicial Education Session provides 16 hours of judicial education credit for constitutional county judges. The State Bar of Texas has accredited 16 CLE hours and 2 Ethics hours.
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) or Texas College of Probate School session per fiscal year. Reimbursement will cover grant-allowable meals, lodging, and transportation up to $750 per fiscal year. (Air travel reimbursement will be paid from hub airports only.
