2025 Judicial Education Course Catalog

W E L C O M E to the 2025 Judicial Education Course Catalog

Dear Maryland Justices, Judges and Magistrates, We are pleased to present to you the 2025 Judicial Education Course Catalog. The Judicial Education Subcommittee and Judicial College staff are excited about the planned courses. For 2025, we offer 54 classes and ten 75-minute webinars. In addition to on-site courses and webinars, we have courses at the University of Baltimore School of Law, the Frederick County Community College, and an assortment of off-site locations including various mental health or drug treatment facilities, and the federal District Courthouse in Baltimore for another chapter in the Historical Trials series. Justices, 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. Courses that count towards the three hours of diversity, equity, and inclusion are notated in the catalog. 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, Circuit Court for Montgomery County, we could not provide the educational opportunities this catalog represents. We are grateful to these professionals for their service. The cover of this year’s catalog is Maryland-themed, with images and symbols from across the State. The 2025 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!
