The District and Municipal Court Judges Association (DMCJA), and the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) are delighted to offer training for attorneys interested in being judges pro tempore or simply for those interested in knowing more about being a judge and the challenges of presiding in the courtroom.
Attorneys who complete this two day training will be listed as possible resources for future pro tem appointments. (NOTE: Completing this program does not guarantee a pro tem appointment, nor is it required to be on the list to be appointed.)
The program focus on the skills necessary to become an effective judge, and includes topics on courtroom management, handling pro se litigants, diversity, working with court personnel, practice bias, and ethical conflicts for judges. The faculty is made up of judges, attorneys and court personnel.
