Judicial Decision-Making for Magistrates

Magistrates in a class room setting

This seminar will offer an intensive exploration of judicial decision-making by magistrates:  how those decisions are made, how to apply the law in the process, and how real life challenges impact decision-making. Our focus will be on improving participants’ abilities to make legal decisions while identifying and guarding against improper influences. Like all Judicial College seminars, this course will be highly interactive. Participants will have opportunities to practice new skills, discuss new ideas, and evaluate current practices.
