Judicial educator

The newest type of administrative official, now found in every state judicial system, is the state judicial educator. This officer, who usually works under the direction of the state chief justice or a judicial council of some sort, is responsible for planning and carrying out programs of continuing education for the state's judges and other court personnel. In most states such educational undertakings are offered for judges at all levels, most commonly for trail judges of the general and limited jurisdiction courts.

In addition to all of these administrative and supporting personnel, there are battalions [bə´tæljən] of others who help keep the courts running. These include bailiffs, computer operators, court stenographers [ ], typists, guards, and building maintenance staffs.
