Rawle & Henderson is pleased to announce that Peter J. Neeson, a senior partner in the Philadelphia office, was selected to serve as a Trustee for a three-year term on The National Judicial College’s Board of Trustees.
Mr. Neeson has been a practicing attorney for over 30 years and is the Chair of Rawle & Henderson’s Environmental, Toxic and Mass Tort section. He is admitted to the New York and Pennsylvania bars. Mr. Neeson has been involved in the defense of numerous toxic tort matters in multi-district and class action cases in both state and federal courts. He is the founder of the National Trial Academy at The National Judicial College.
The National Judicial College was founded in 1963 and is the nation’s leading provider of judicial education. Judges from all areas of the judicial system, such as those working in the limited and general jurisdiction fields, as well as administrative law, tribal, and military judges, have benefited from the judicial education programs offered at the College.
The NJC is housed in a state-of-the-art building on the historic 255-acre campus of the University of Nevada, Reno. For more than 45 years, the NJC has been offering courses to improve judicial productivity, challenge current perceptions of justice and inspire judges to achieve judicial excellence. With courses held onsite, across the nation and around the world, the NJC offers an average of 90 courses annually with more than 3,000 judges enrolling from all 50 states, U.S. territories and more than 150 countries. Since it opened, the NJC has awarded more than 84,000 professional judicial education certificates.
With a faculty dedicated to providing the nation's judiciary with real-world solutions to everyday situations, The National Judicial College has focused its efforts and considerable experience to provide participants with first-rate, comprehensive judicial training. In addition, the NJC and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges assisted the University of Nevada, Reno, in developing one of the nation’s first Master’s and Ph.D. in judicial studies programs. These advanced degree programs provide a formal academic setting in which trial judges can integrate technical and academic studies to attain an intellectual understanding of the American judiciary.
The NJC is also home to the National Tribal Judicial Center and an International Program that assists foreign countries with judicial training. The College’s curricula include a Seminar Series, made up of courses that provide judges the opportunity to study diverse and interesting topics at historically and culturally rich locations across the United States. Web-based courses are also offered enabling participants to explore a variety of subject areas online.
