International Office

The Federal Judicial Center’s International Office (IO) collaborates with judiciaries from around the world, sharing the Center’s expertise on judicial branch education, research, and court administration.

In 1992, the Center's statutory mission was amended to include a mandate

[to] cooperate with and assist agencies of the Federal Government and other appropriate organizations in providing information and advice to further improvement in the administration of justice in the courts of foreign countries and to acquire information about judicial administration in foreign countries that may contribute to performing the other functions set forth in this section.

Much of this work is carried out in partnership with other US government agencies, international organizations, and implementing organizations.

An historical overview of the Center’s international work can be found here.
