The Institute annually offers continuing education schools for county judges and commissioners. These schools attract county officials from all areas of the state and are known for providing accurate, timely information and well respected speakers. Attendees earn accredited hours of continuing education that apply toward their state-mandated continuing education requirement.

The faculty and staff of the Institute work with the officers of the professional associations and education committees to plan relevant and effective educational programs.

In addition, the Institute serves as the educational sponsor for district, regional and statewide conferences throughout the year.

Judges and Commissioners interested in continued professional development may want to consider the Commissioners Court Leadership Academy, a two year program that builds advanced skills and knowledge. Read more about the Academy here.

Note: Current Local Government Code specifies continuing education for Judges and Commissioners must be earned in a classroom. Therefore, no online courses have been approved by the County Judges and Commissioners Association of Texas.
