Dwight D. Opperman Institute of
Judicial Administration

Since its founding in 1952, the Dwight D. Opperman Institute of Judicial Administration (IJA) has excelled as one of the finest non-partisan judicial education and administration organizations in the country. IJA sponsors annual appellate judges training seminars, workshops on special topics in the law, and the William J. Brennan Jr. Lecture series honoring the state judiciary, among other programs. 

Our next program is "Stop and Frisk": The Legal and Policy Issues (October 10).  This program is open to the public but prior registration is required.  Registration will open soon.
