A Message from the Council’s President, Hon. Frances Tydingco-Gatewood

Hafa Adai!

As President of the Pacific Judicial Council, I am honored and privileged to welcome you to our website.

The Pacific Judicial Council began over 25 years ago and is made up of members from all over the Pacific region. Our goal has always been to continue further to educate ourselves and our local communities on the law. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the members of the Pacific Judicial Council thought now more than ever was the best time to redesign and update our website with the latest information and education opportunities to give our audience a chance to connect with us and learn more about our organization on a virtual platform.

The Pacific Judicial Council's objectives for training programs...

  • The training of judges to provide fair, impartial, and speedy justice, with a bench imbued with integrity, professionalism, and competence;

  • The training of court leaders with ethical principles to train court staff and lead courts in the 21st century;

  • The training of lawyers to provide a pool of qualified candidates to fill future judicial vacancies;

  • The training of court interpreters to provide access to justice to local communities;

  • The training of probation officers, court security officers, and other court personnel to effectively and efficiently administer access to justice.
