CLINIC AND APPLICATION INFORMATION
The Judicial Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that prepares qualified diverse attorneys for judicial positions. Through our efforts, we strive to make the path to the judiciary more accessible, and to increase the number of diverse attorneys seeking and securing judicial positions.
We are committed to the diversification of Washington’s courts, and we believe our judicial system is strengthened when it reflects the richness and diversity of the communities and populations served throughout the State of Washington. The bench is enriched, and decision-making is enhanced, by a variety of perspectives and life experiences.
THE JUDICIAL FELLOWS CLINIC
Fellows will participate in a two-day interactive course, taught by instructors who are judges, MBA judicial evaluation committee members, and appointing authorities. Presenters will address topics including judicial ethics, the judicial appointment process, and preparing for a judicial campaign. In addition, Fellows will be assigned judicial mentors who will provide one-on-one feedback and guidance. At the end of the program, Fellows should have the skills and information to begin seeking a position on the bench. Fellows will also receive general and ethics CLE credits.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Applications are closed for 2026.
