General Information
The County Court Assistants Training Conference presents an opportunity for the county judge’s staff to learn more about the management and operation of judicial and administrative procedures of the judge’s office. Our goal is for each person to leave this conference better equipped to assist the county judge in his/her judicial and administrative duties.
This training event is funded by a grant from the Court of Criminal Appeals. The registration fee for this event is $100. Registration fees are voluntary. However, all registration fees collected are deposited back to the grant to be used for further education beyond that presently funded by the legislature.
