About CourtEd (formerly The Judicial Institute)
CourtEd's mission is to provide coordinated educational services, skills training, and professional development for Massachusetts Trial Court judicial and non-judicial personnel.
Established by statute in 1988, the CourtEd continues to meet its mission by developing educational and professional development programs for judges and other Trial Court employees and by building networks with the larger academic community. CourtEd's mission also embodies a commitment to improve the courts' response to change and believes that professional development offers the means to improve morale, communication, performance, service, and the administration of justice.
