2024 Judicial Education Course Catalog

W E L C O M E to the 2024 Judicial Education Course Catalog

Dear Maryland Judges and Magistrates, We are pleased to present to you the 2024 Judicial Education Course Catalog. The Judicial Education Subcommittee and Judicial College staff are excited about the courses planned for 2024. For 2024, we offer 58 classes and ten 75-minute webinars, including in-person courses at the Maryland Judicial Center and remote courses over Zoom. In addition to onsite and remote courses, we have courses at the University of Baltimore School of Law, the Frederick County Community College, and an assortment of offsite locations, such as a mental health or drug treatment facility, a state prison, a juvenile detention facility, and the federal District Courthouse in Baltimore for another chapter in the Historical Trials series. Judges and magistrates can satisfy six of their 15 hour requirements through remote learning and webinars. The College is committed to offering a wide-range curriculum taught engagingly by a diverse expert group of coordinators and faculty. This catalog represents the commitment and hard work of the Judicial Education Subcommittee and the staff of the Judicial College. Without the dedication and volunteerism of the subcommittee under the leadership of the Honorable Bibi M. Berry and Honorable Stephen J. Sfekas, we could not provide the educational opportunities this catalog represents. We are grateful to these professionals for their service. The theme of this year’s catalog is Maryland Modern Courts: Connecting and Reconnecting. You will find pictures from the 2023 Judicial Conference throughout the catalog. The 2024 course registration email you received includes instructions on class registration. Thank you for your continued collaboration, involvement, and participation. We look forward to serving you!
