Featured Panel: Rules and Constraints on Judges Seeking Work-Life Balance

Saturday, October 19, 2024 | 10:30 – 11:45 AM

This session will assist judges in understanding the requirements and constraints on a trial court judge who seeks to balance court obligations with personal commitments, including family needs and mental and physical health concerns. Panelists will discuss the current rules and procedures governing absences from the courthouse; the role of the presiding judge in setting and enforcing policies; and the limitations of current requirements in recognizing the needs of judicial officers for work-life balance.

At the end of the session, we hope participants might gleam from the program:
• Understand which employment laws protect judges -- and which do not.
• Identify the pertinent Rules of Courts and policies affecting absences from court and the
possibility of CJP proceedings.
• Understand the presiding judge’s role in setting absence policies and assessing requests for
absences.
• Recognizing the limitations and grey areas in current requirements and consider ideas for
improvement.
