Required programs

During each 6-year period, a judge shall attend at least once the Wisconsin judicial college, the child welfare law orientation, the criminal law-sentencing institute and the prison tour. This rule does not apply to commissioners of the supreme court and staff attorneys of the court of appeals. The requirement to attend the child welfare law orientation applies only to judges whose most recent term of office begins on or after August 1, 2020. Credit earned for attendance at these programs is to be included as part of the required 60 credits.
