Description:

Due to the state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Judicial Council adopted rule 10.492 of the California Rules of Court in November 2020, extending deadlines by 12 months to complete mandatory judicial education programs. The Center for Judicial Education and Research (CJER) Advisory Committee recommends amending rule 10.492 to extend the rule’s temporary extension for the B. E. Witkin Judicial College by an additional 12 months to avoid the inability to comply with rule 10.462(c)(1)(C) amongst new judicial officers. The CJER Advisory Committee also proposes amending the rule’s expiration date in light of the ongoing nature of the pandemic.
