Judicial Fellowship Program
Launched in 2024, our two-week program offers an immersive professional exchange and residential learning opportunity for foreign judges and magistrates who are passionate about strengthening legal systems.
In partnership with The Presidential Precinct, the Judicial Fellowship Program is a professional exchange and residential learning experience designed to strengthen the legal systems in foreign countries by building a cadre of judicial leaders from around the world.
The 2025 cohort joined us in October for two weeks of programming in Washington, D.C. and Charlottesville, Virginia.
