Chancellor Arnold Goldin of the 30th Judicial District (Shelby County) has completed an advanced evidence course at the National Judicial College in Reno, NV. He received a Bureau of Justice Assistance scholarship to attend the four-day program.
"It was a great learning experience to study evidence issues with judges from all over the country," Goldin said. "It was very thought-provoking and offered new insights I will be able to use."
Consistently rated one of the top courses at NJC, Advanced Evidence enables judges to analyze Federal Rules of Evidence as well as comparing and contrasting common law rules of evidence. After attending this course, participants are equipped to rule on evidentiary issues with greater accuracy and confidence.
The National Judicial College is entering its 42nd year of providing judicial education and professional development. The College offers an average of 90 courses annually with more than 2,700 judges enrolling from all 50 states, U.S. territories and more than 150 countries.
In addition to a National Tribal Judicial Center, the Donald W. Reynolds Courts and Media Center and an International Center, NJC houses technology-enhanced classrooms, a legal resource center, a state-of-the-art model courtroom, modern seminar rooms, distance education facilities and a computer lab.
