EXCLUSIVELY TO JUDGES
Judges, please join Berkeley Judicial Institute, Judge Thomas Hardiman and Jonathan Segal on May 23, at noon Pacific, for a judges-only conversation about establishing and maintaining a civil chambers culture.
It is important that individuals in chambers, starting with the judge, interact with one another with respect, dignity and civility. This includes avoiding harassing, retaliatory, abusive and other inappropriate conduct.
At the same time, chambers’ relationships are not solely professional. They often have a personal dimension, too. Indeed, some judges refer to their clerks and assistants as part of their “judicial family.”
Using scenarios to guide the conversation, this program will consider:
- navigating interpersonal issues with clerks and other chambers staff
- understanding the power differential that undergirds the judge/clerk relationship
- maintaining collaboration, collegiality and mentorship.
The program will NOT be recorded.
