About the National Judicial Education Program

The National Judicial Education Program (NJEP) is a unique, award-winning project that educates judges and justice system professionals about the ways in which gender bias and the myths and misconceptions about sexual violence can be a factor across the spectrum of civil, criminal, family, and juvenile law, and how to prevent stereotypes from affecting the fair adjudication of these cases. Established in 1980, NJEP creates and presents an extensive array of judicial education programs and materials, including DVDs, Web courses, and in-person programs, focused on adult victim sexual assault cases and cases of co-occurring sexual assault and domestic violence.
