SAVE THE DATE ~ SEPTEMBER 21-24, 2008 ~ NIAGARA
FALLS
This year’s Fall
Training for Magistrates and Court Clerks will be held in Niagara
Falls. Check-in for both groups will be on Sunday, September 21 and
the activities will begin that evening. The Court Clerks’ business
meeting and election of officers will be held beginning at 8:45 AM
on Monday morning, September 22. Immediately after the meeting our
classes will begin. Information for conference pre-registration and
hotel reservations were in the June Docket and I hope you
have made your plans to attend. See the “Conference” link on this
Website if you missed the Docket.
Just
as our practice has been for the past two years, the Education
Committee is again offering the “core” topics twice, once on Monday
and again on Tuesday. Please look at the schedule carefully to plan
which classes you want to attend on which day so that you don’t end
up missing a topic that you really want to cover. On Wednesday
morning there will be a joint class for all three sections on Credit
Cards with a joint Question and Answer (covering any and all
questions on any topic) session to follow.
On
Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:30 the Magistrates will have a
class on surcharges that any Court Clerk is welcome to attend.
There will also be a Transportation class for the Judges that Court
Clerks may attend as well.
The Education
Committee puts much thought and planning in putting together topics
and schedules that we think will benefit you. We try very hard to
pick topics based on the feedback provided by all of you on your
comment forms. So remember how important those comment forms are.
Don’t just circle numbers, but take a minute to write what you like
about the class or what you think can be done better. If you have
suggestions for future topics, we definitely want to hear from you.
Give us your thoughts and ideas; we’re all in this together and we
all want to be the best Court Clerks we can – for our municipality,
for our Judges and for ourselves.
