ACADAMIC
PROGRAM-
The National Judicial
Education Strategy (NJES) was established by the Institute in September, 2006,
as a national level system for judicial education, with which it hopes to
achieve its objectives in technical education. The courses offered here follow
the same system. Instead of a 'teacher - student' setting found usually in
academic institutions, the institute follows a 'solution driven' approach
instead, working to eliminate the obstacles faced by the judges participating
in a programme by identifying them over discussions in portals. Based on this,
the institute offers 6 types of programmes to its three categories of
candidates, High Court Justices, District Judiciaries and State Judicial
Academics. There was an appeal made to the institute, requesting the institute
to consider working on the decorum of the judges taking their programmes,
bringing in the topics of the importance of judicial restraint and reticence as
prescribed by Lord Kilmuir in their discussions. by B. S. Raghavan, a former
IAS officer, U.N. Civil Servant and author.
