Matthew Byrne, Jr., Judicial Clerkship Institute (Byrne JCI) at Pepperdine University Law School. The Byrne JCI is presented in cooperation with the Federal Judicial Center and the American Bankruptcy Institute. Through the Byrne JCI, participants have the opportunity to participate in distinctive, comprehensive training by federal judges and subject-matter experts. Session topics include section 1983 litigation, recent and pending Supreme Court cases, psychology of litigation, preparing for sentencing, Social Security appeals, and ethical issues for career law clerks.</p> <p><strong><a name="CW" id="CW"><em>Court Web</em> Series</a></strong></p> <p>This monthly webcast addresses issues primarily of interest to judges and court attorneys, but it is also relevant for and often viewed by numerous court staff. Each broadcast features a presentation by one or more subject-matter experts. Viewers may submit questions to be answered on air. Topics frequently include Supreme Court decisions, section 1983 litigation, psychology of litigation, criminal procedure, ethics, neuroscience, habeas, and evidence. Faculty members include judges, law professors, and other leading subject-matter experts.</p> <p><strong><a name="IOLC" id="IOLC">Interactive Orientation for Federal Judicial Law Clerks</a></strong></p> <p>The Interactive Orientation for Federal Judicial Law Clerks (IOLC) is a two-phase online program for term law clerks designed to help them learn their duties and responsibilities. Phase I of the program includes four components: </p> <ul> <li>Maintaining the Public Trust</li> <li><em>Court Web: Ethical Concerns in the Age of Social Media </em></li> <li>Every Judge Would Edit Shakespeare </li> <li>List of Resources</li> </ul> <p>Law clerks can begin Phase I as soon as they are selected, that is, before beginning actual service in the courts. Phase I orientation sessions are available through a stand-alone, password-protected webpage because law clerks cannot access the judiciary’s internal websites until they officially become court employees. </p> <p>Once on board, law clerks can access Phase II sessions on the internal webpage for IOLC.
