Description:
The purpose of this Article is to provide an overview of judicial education in Indiana as it relates to the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education requirements set forth in Rule 29 of the Indiana Rules of Admission and Discipline. The Article focuses on the efforts of the Indiana Judicial Center, as the staff agency for the Judicial Conference of Indiana, to produce and sponsor judicial education and training programs for Indiana judicial officers. The Article briefly sets forth the historical underpinnings of the present day Indiana Judicial Center and addresses the role of the judiciary in providing its own education and training through the Judicial Education Committee. The Article concludes with a proposed amendment to Rule 29 as it relates to Indiana judicial officers.
A conversion to mandatory continuing judicial education in Indiana would have a modest practical effect, as most judicial officers presently earn all or a majority of their mandated hours through the Indiana Judicial Center. However, after twenty years of mandatory CLE, a move to CJE would dramatically symbolize the importance and value of an integrated and specialized education curriculum for Indiana’s judiciary.
