23 Judges J. 1 (1984)

handle is hein.journals/judgej23 and id is 1 raw text is: Court News Roundup Court Technology Conference Scheduled for Spring The reason that we are holding a National Con- ference on Court Technology, said John Greacan, deputy director for programs at the National Center for State Courts, is to offer court administrators, judges, and other interested people the most compre- hensive program ever developed on how technology can help us better solve the many problems facing our courts. The technology conference will be held in Chicago at the downtown Hyatt Regency Hotel on April 26-29, 1984. The preliminary program includes more than 70 different topics, with sessions running on several tracks, depending upon a person's level of knowledge and expertise. The conference is sponsored by 32 organizations, which include those representing judges, lawyers, administrators, municipal officials, clerks, and other court personnel. The preliminary program includes the following categories: equipment, court functions, management issues, and workshops focusing on the level and type of court. In addition, there will be a special exhibit area, where the latest in court and law office equipment will be available, and tours of Chicago-area courts. The technology conference registration fee is set at $150 (with a $100 early registration fee available, if participants register by March 15, 1984). Conference attendees will also benefit from special reduced hotel rates. Registration deadline is April 15, 1984.

Watts Gives Notice, College Seeks New Dean National Judicial College Dean Ernst John Watts, who does not plan to renew his contract in February 1985, commented that, It has been a great ten years, and I am happy with our accomplishments. He plans to pursue other opportunities that combine his skills as a lawyer, judge, teacher, administrator, and fund raiser. Florence K. Murray, chairperson of the col- lege's board of directors and associate justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court, expressed the board's gratitude and appreciation for Dean Watts's decade of service at the college. Watts will end his duties as dean of the National Judicial College at the end of February 1985. The National Judicial College is inviting applica- tions from, and information about, possible can- didates for the position of dean. The National Judicial College, located at the University of Nevada-Reno, offers a broad-based educational program for judges and other judicial staff from all parts of the United States. Established 20 years ago as an entity of the American Bar Association, the college now operates as a separate, private non-profit corporation under a board of directors approved by the ABA. The Dean Search Committee, appointed by the board of the college, intends to seek out possible can- didates, as well as receive applications, and will be pleased to receive applications, nominations, or in- quiries from any interested person. Inquiries, nominations, and applications should be directed to Ernest C. Friesen, Chairman, Dean Search Committee, California Western School of Law, 350 Cedar Street, San Diego, CA 92101. The committee hopes to receive all applications by May 15, 1984. Retired Judges Sue to Practice Should retired judges have to choose between col- lecting a pension or practicing law? No, say a number of judges who are challenging laws in Virginia, Maryland and New Jersey that prohibit former judges from collecting their pensions if they are practicing law.
