50 Years! Congratulations!
The Honorable Rozier E. Sanchez, after whom the Rozier E. Sanchez Judicial Education Center of New Mexico (JEC) is named, was recently recognized by the New Mexico State Bar for 50 years of practicing law.
For 20 of those 50 years, Judge Sanchez served as a judge in the Second Judicial District Court. Before retiring from the bench in 1993, Judge Sanchez spearheaded the inception of the JEC in 1991 and has since chaired the Judicial Education and Training Advisory Committee (JETA), our Supreme Court appointed oversight committee.
His dedication to quality judicial education has served as our guidepost and we most certainly wish him a hearty and warm congratulations for his service to the legal profession and the New Mexico judiciary. |
JEC Website Redesign
We are currently working on redesigning our website and hope to rollout the first phase in 2010. The redesign includes a new look that is in line with the University of New Mexico's image. In addition, we are reorganizing the information to provide more intuitive, quicker, and easier access to information.
With that said, when we rollout our first phase of the redesign, you may notice that some online resources and trainings that are missing require significant reviewing and updating, which our attorneys are working on, before adding back to the website.
If you have any questions, concerns or ideas about the website, please let me know. My email is norris@law.unm.edu
Thanks for your patience,
Liz |

Courts and the Media: A Workbook for Judges & Journalists
The National Judicial College's Donald W.

The workbook is designed to help both the courts and the media work more harmoniously. Please check the bottom of our Resources page for the pdf of this workbook.
Online Training on Crimes of Stalking and Harassment
The Judicial Education Center has developed comprehensive online training for the judiciary on the crimes of stalking and harassment. Incorporating both explanatory text and interactive exercises, the training provides detailed information on the substantive, procedural and psychological aspects of these offenses. The training was funded in part by a grant from the federal Office on Violence Against Women administered by the New Mexico Crime Victims Reparation Commission.
