body
Summary
Summary
The Executive and Planning Committee recommends the approval of an
unpaid sabbatical leave for Judge Nicholas S. Thompson, Superior Court
of Orange County, for the period of October 1 to December 31, 2019.
During this sabbatical leave, Judge Thompson intends to study and
conduct a comparative analysis of Canadian law and jurisprudence and
teach on California law at the University of Calgary Faculty of Law in
Alberta, Canada. Judge Thompson anticipates that his experience in this
program will provoke new thoughts on enhancing protocols and practices
within the California justice system and on how he approaches varied
criminal and limited jurisdiction civil matters. He believes it will positively
influence his future performance as a California trial court judge.
