Management and staff
The chairman of the governing body of the Institute is the Chief Justice of India. As chairman, he appoints the director as the principal executive officer. Academic positions include an additional director for research, three professors, six associate professors, six research fellows and six law associates. Other than the managerial and functional positions, administrative positions include a registrar and additional registrar, a chief accounts officer, and maintenance engineers.[2]
Academic programs
The National Judicial Education Strategy (NJES) was established by the Institute in September, 2006, as a national level system for judicial education, with which it hopes to achieve its objectives in technical education. The courses offered here follow the same system. Instead of a 'teacher - student' setting found usually in academic institutions, the institute follows a 'solution driven' approach instead, working to eliminate the obstacles faced by the judges participating in a programme by identifying them over discussions in portals. Based on this, the institute offers 6 types of programmes to its three categories of candidates, High Court Justices, District Judiciaries and State Judicial Academics. There was an appeal made to the institute, requesting the institute to consider working on the decorum of the judges taking their programmes, bringing in the topics of the importance of judicial restraint and reticence as prescribed by Lord Kilmuir in their discussions.[3] by B. S. Raghavan, a former IAS officer, U.N. Civil Servant and author.[4]
