Conference committee members are dedicated, enthusiastic individuals committed to the cause of an efficient, independent judiciary. Many NCSCJ members have expressed the view that committee work has provided them with unprecedented professional and personal growth. The NCSCJ encourages members to become involved and to bring to the attention of these committees their ideas and concerns so that the objectives and interests of all members can be heard, understood and incorporated into the NCSCJ proposals, projects and initiatives.
Committee enrollment begins Sept. 1, 2008
