The close working relationship between judge and associate is a distinctive feature of judicial life. The relationship is generally highly prized and valued by both parties and has evolved without much formal assistance. But how do other judges manage their working life with associates? And what constitutes best-practice when managing staff?
Guided by senior judicial officers acting as judicial mentors, the Judicial Management Forum invites new judicial officers to learn management practices and principles from colleagues. You will have the opportunity to contribute to discussions about the legal and ethical obligations of the shared workplace including in relation to sexual harassment and bullying, and hear from former associates on their experience of the culture of courts.
Participants will take part in skills sessions that explore:
- allocating work and setting expectations
- giving and receiving feedback including good, difficult,
- constructive and timely feedback
- mentoring and establishing boundaries
- discussing cultural contexts
- debriefing after court and having tricky conversations.
Please note that this event is by invitation only.
