The Judicial Council’s Executive and Planning Committee is accepting nominations through Friday, May 6 for positions on many of our advisory bodies.  I invite you to consider submitting your own nomination or nominating someone who you believe qualified to serve.
 
Advisory bodies are vital contributors to the judicial branch’s policymaking process.  We rely on the expertise of those who volunteer and participate.  These positions can also represent an opportunity to contribute and gain experience at the statewide level.  Here are some of the advisory bodies now seeking nominees:
·        Appellate Advisory Committee
·        Court Interpreters Advisory Panel
·        Civil Jury Instructions
·        Judicial Branch Workers’ Compensation Program
·        Probate and Mental Health
·        Trial Court Facility Modification
·        Workload Assessment
·        Criminal Jury Instructions
