POLITICAL ECONOMY AND ACCESS TO JUSTICE JUDICIAL EDUCATION SEMINAR

For years, institutions of higher education have taken the lead in studying the justice system with the laudable goal of theorizing best practices for improving it. “Shine a Light on It,” the theme of PEAJJES 2026, proposes to bring in the voices of sitting and retired judges and court administrators to bear upon, ground, and flesh these academic discourses. Judges and judicial administrators representing court systems throughout the country will lead sessions that spotlight the many ways that stakeholders in the justice system have taken the lead in fostering innovation and improving the system, by developing new and creative interventions and services; implementing new technologies; and facilitating practical integration of modernizing practices and efficient administrative policies. Working lunches and collective debriefings give judicial participants time and space to discuss and troubleshoot ways to model, scale, and adapt what they learn from sessions, upon returning to their respective jurisdictions. Registration is open to sitting and retired judges. To register, visit www.peajjes.com. For more information, email peajjes@tulane.edu, or call (985) 497-5508
