CJI Judicial Education Scholarships (Colorado Judicial Institute)

Fact (page-stated): CJI funds continuing education for Colorado's judges and court staff, supported in part by The Larry DeMuth Endowment for Judicial Education; CJI has awarded more than $500,000 in such funding over the years. Fact: ALL funding requests must come from the Colorado Judicial Branch — funds must be used for education or training by or for members of the judiciary, employees of the State Court Administrator's Office, or others employed by the Colorado Judicial Department. Fact: eligible costs are conference/seminar registration and class fees, hardware, software, textbooks, CDs/DVDs of conference materials, and speaker fees. Fact: NOT eligible without SCAO Education Director approval — travel, lodging, food, drink, meeting rooms, entertainment, parking, requests requiring travel outside the continental US, and more than one person from the same judicial district attending the same program. Fact: an individual may receive funds only once in any 12-month period. Inference: this is a closed-pool award restricted to the Colorado state court system, not open to the general public.
