Judicial Education Program
Welcome to the Judicial Education Program
Northwestern University School of Law is the proud sponsor of the Judicial Education Program (JEP) which presents carefully targeted educational programs for state and federal judges.
A well-informed and well-educated judiciary is essential to a sound civil justice system. Judges routinely hear cases involving complex issues of economics, finance, accounting, statistics, and science. Yet many judges lack the basic knowledge in these disciplines necessary to distinguish between valid and invalid arguments. This educational void means that litigants do not meet on a level playing field and this threatens the fundamental principles of a fair and just society.
To address this problem, the Northwestern Law JEP, offers a stimulating array of specialized programs in these areas. The JEP provides timely, specialized programs on economics, finance, accounting, and scientific method as well as substantive legal issues.
With more than 1400 state and federal judges as alumni since 2008, the JEP at Northwestern is unmatched in its delivery of quality judicial programming.
