  DESCRIPTION

The Court Management Program (CMP) consists of two phases that address the training needs of mid-level court managers. Phase I of the national program courses are offered across the United States and are open to all. Concluding Seminar certification is only available to those who have successfully completed Phase I. Phase I and the Concluding Seminar are also offered through state and local partnerships; however, the tuition and logistics are contractual arrangements and may differ from those of national program courses.

Phase I:

The five courses of CMP's Phase I develop participants' knowledge, skills and abilities in caseflow management, information technology management, court performance standards, fiscal management and human resource management. These foundation courses are identical to those of Phase I of the Court Executive Development Program. For those who are interested in developing leadership skills and pursuing a more intensive learning experience, the CMP courses can be used to meet part of the requirements for entry into the Court Executive Development Program

Concluding Seminar:

This weeklong course combines elements of leadership, management techniques, and specific court issues in a program that provides participants with the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to achieve their professional goals as court managers.

Incorporating nationally recognized articles and books on leadership, management and court issues, this course will expand upon and integrate court management competencies identified in the NACM Core Competencies. Participants will build upon the Phase I foundational courses and explore the roles and purposes of courts; deal with the concepts of judicial independence and interdependence; become familiar with various leadership and management theories as they apply to courts; take time to recognize and appreciate their own conceptual and interpersonal skills, as well as those of others; develop new teambuilding techniques; and, through interactive group work, understand the importance of good communication as they move to higher levels of critical thinking. The Concluding Seminar culminates in a formal graduation ceremony and the awarding of CMP certificates.
