Title
Trial Court Budget | 2023-24 State Trial Court Improvement and Modernization Fund Allocation Increase for Judicial Education (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends a $150,000 increase to the fiscal year 2023-24 Judicial Education program allocation from the State Trial Court Improvement and Modernization Fund to provide additional judicial officer orientation to newly appointed judges due to the increased number of judicial appointments in recent months. The increased budget, from $1.1 million to $1.3 million, will provide the resources necessary for the Judicial Council’s Center for Judicial Education and Research to offer additional training programs this fiscal year to ensure that newly appointed judicial officers receive the training they need and meet the new judge education requirements of California Rules of Court, rule 10.462.
Recommendation
The Trial Court Budget Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective March 15, 2024, approve an increase of $150,000 to the fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 Judicial Education program allocation from the State Trial Court Improvement and Modernization Fund.
