The ALJ Track educates administrative law judges about issues to be decided in administrative license revocation cases.
The DWI Court Team Track provides additional advanced training for currently functioning DWI Court teams, and includes professionals from related fields that work in conjunction with judicial officials in deciding how to best adjudicate a case.
The Student Conduct Officers Track provides professional development and training for campus judicial officers, focuses, on student alcohol and drug abuse and impaired driving prevention, offers uniform comprehensive SCO education and preventive strategies training, and provides a forum for the exchange of current practices and innovative strategies.
