NCSC's International Visitors Program

The NCSC's International Visitors Education Program (IVEP), which is part of NCSC International, designs and conducts educational programming for hundreds of international justice-sector leaders each year. These programs are individually tailored to satisfy educational criteria provided by the funders and participants. They can vary from one-day seminars to one-week concentrated study of a specific court administration topic, to multi-week comprehensive study of the American justice system. In a recent rule of law RFP issued by the U.S. State Department Office of International Visitors - Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the NCSC was recognized by name as a training site for inclusion in programs for justice-system professionals. In the last five years, IVEP has provided training for more than 2,300 international justice-sector professionals in over 275 individualized programs.

The IVEP also coordinates special multi-months exchange programs for interested counterparts.  For several years now, we cooperated with the Supreme Courts of South Korea and Japan to provide participating judges with opportunities to observe court operations and work side-by-side with judges in various courts in the U.S.

The IVEP staff has extensive experience in designing and providing specially tailored training and education programs for individuals from around the world.  Working closely with our counterparts abroad we develop programs that match their needs and financial capabilities to the extent possible.
