An Act providing for the development of a graduate judicial training school

This bill proposes the creation of a Graduate Judicial Training School in Massachusetts to improve the quality of judges and legal hearing officers. The legislation would establish an Advisory Board composed of the Governor, the Attorney General, and law school deans to oversee the development of this program. This board would hold public hearings and make recommendations over three years on how to create a two-year advanced training academy for current judges and a future entry-level school for new judicial candidates. The ultimate goal is to ensure that all future judicial appointments come from graduates of this specialized training program.
