Executive Development Program Papers
The National Center for

Executive Development Program (CEDP). It is designed to "develop
and enhance the knowledge, skills, and abilities of court
administrators and provide instruction in areas of functional
responsibility associated with court administration." To complete
the third phase of the program, each CEDP student is required to
prepare a comprehensive research paper evaluating a key court function
or proposed activity in his or her home jurisdiction. The papers relating
