The JTI Structure

The JTI was established on the principle that overall direction and control of judicial education should be in the hands of the judiciary. Through the involvement of well-respected judges in the development and delivery of judicial education programmes, the JTI both increases the credibility and effectiveness of its programmes and ensures judicial independence. The JTI fortifies the primacy of peer education in its activities and principles by placing control over the direction, affairs and activities of the Institute with a Board.

The Board's mission is to lead the JTI in the development and delivery of quality judicial training. Members of the Board may be either elected or appointed. Board members serve two-year terms and are eligible for re-election for a maximum of two terms.
