Competency-Based Curriculum

In consultation with our education advisory committees, the Education Division has identified the specific competencies that inform a standard curriculum for each of our judicial and court staff populations. Competencies comprise the knowledge, skills, and attributes essential for people working in specific roles throughout the judiciary; they are the building blocks from which we design relevant educational programs for each population served.
