WELCOME to the 2021 Judicial Educat ion Course Catalog

Dear Maryland Judges and Magistrates, As you know 2020was quite a year. We had somany exciting courses we were prepared to offer, most of whichwere suspended as a result the pandemic. Speaking of the Pandemic, we have put in place CDC-focused guidelines to ensure your safety in 2021! We are prepared to serve you using a smaller class size structure, with antiseptic supplies and social distancing strategies. While this is our new normal, it doesn’t cloud our enthusiasm for our 2021 course slate. It is with pleasure that the Judicial College of Maryland, Judicial Education present you with the 2021 Judicial Education Course Catalog. The Judicial Education Subcommittee and Judicial College staff are truly excited about the courses planned for 2021. In addition to the continuation of courses that provide newand experienced judges andmagistrateswith expanded knowledge, skills, andupdates on substantive law, we are pleased to announce that in 2021we are bringing back the highly regarded offsite/ facility-based courses. These include courses held in the Eastern Shore, as well as courses that take place at a prison, juvenile facility, mental health facility, and a drug treatment facility. Additionally, we are offering remote learning opportunities and our LunchtimeWebinars series. Judges andmagistrates can satisfy six (6) of the twelve (12) hour requirement through webinars or remote learning. Six (6) hours must be satisfied through onsite education. This catalog and all our courses are a direct result of the tireless commitment of our Judicial Education Subcommittee and Judiciary coordinators and faculty comprised of judges, magistrates, law professors, other subject matter experts, and judicial partners. Without the dedication and volunteerism of this group, the Judicial College would not be able to serve our judicial stakeholders so effectively. We are grateful to these individuals for their service. If you are interested in joining the ranks of your teaching colleagues, please contact our office at 410-260-3665 or email us at judicialeducation@mdcourts.gov.
