“I rise to honor the National Judicial College. Celebrating 50 years of service and education to the Nation's judiciary, the National Judicial College has dedicated itself to the advancement of justice, not only in our Nation, but throughout the world. It is with great pleasure that I recognize the National Judicial College's distinguished history of providing education and higher learning, especially in light of its recent anniversary. More than 50 years ago, the Joint Committee for the Effective Administration of Justices came together and realized the need for an entity to provide judicial education. By 1963, under the leadership of Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark, the National Judicial College opened its doors at the University of Colorado, Boulder. After attending the first course in Boulder, Judge Thomas Craven, from Reno, NV, enthusiastically brought his experience with the college to trustees of the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation located in Reno. In 1964, with the persistence of Judge Craven and the support of the Fleischmann Foundation, the college moved to the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno, where its permanent academic home still thrives today. As the first institution to offer programs of its nature to judges nationwide, the National Judicial College has much to celebrate at this 50 year mark.…”
