May is the month of the Kentucky Derby and it’s also the “stretch run” for NCBC members trying to complete their Capstone projects and papers to graduate in the final class of the Michigan State University Judicial Administration Program. MSU’s Cathy White reports that the numbers are stunning. 11 have already completed the coursework and papers and it is possible that 40 or more NCBC members may graduate this summer!
For those who aren’t in the program - you can help too. Many of the capstone projects require surveys and data analysis. You may receive one of those surveys. Please complete it so your colleague can get the information they need to complete their projects. If you work with a person completing a capstone, encourage them to hang in there and get it done. The reward is worth the little pain that comes with writing a research-type paper.
The capstone project is the culmination of the non-credit bearing certificate program. This follows 60 hours of coursework (online or at NCBC conferences) usually completed over a five year period.
We hope you’ll join us for the graduation at this year’s NCBC Conference in Chicago as many of your fellow members cross the finish line and receive their Judicial Administration certificates.
