CJEI held its first Intensive Study Programme for Judicial Educators in 1995. Since then, the programme has been shaped and improved by the suggestions of each year's class. To date, we have had 84 participants from 30 countries.

This year there were fewer suggestions for change-a good sign. It appears our challenge now is to maintain the high standards you have set for us. The programme topics include "objectives and standards of judicial education", "long range plan design", "adult education pedagogy", "communication skills", "judicial education video making", "teleconferencing", "electronic judicial education tools", "funding resources", "judicial education programme evaluations" and "programme and curricula design". Our faculty includes such acclaimed international adult educators as Dr. Teresa MacNeil, Dr. Sandy Fraser and Dr. David Muttart; Ms. Pat Simpson, Past Chair, Education Committee of the England and Wales Magistrates' Association; Alayne Casteel of Reno, Nevada; the Honourable Judge Rya Zobel, Director of the Federal Judicial Center, Washington, DC; Maria Dakolias, World Bank; the Honourable Mr. Justice Bastarache, Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada; Assistant Chief Judge Marietta Roberts and Associate Chief Justice Pat Lesage of Ontario.

It was an outstanding class composed of Magistrate Deborah Holder, Barbados; The Honourable Judge Yosuf Jamie, Eritrea; The Honourable Mr. Justice Essilfie-Bondzie, Ghana; The Honourable Mr. Justice Nasiru Gbadegbe, Ghana; Mr. Ibrahim Hamidu Alkali, Nigeria; Mr. Fakar Hayat, Pakistan; Mr. Salman Ansari, Pakistan; The Honourable Judge Titus P.
