    The Federal Judicial Center is the judicial branch's agency for policy
    research and continuing education.

    The Federal Judicial Center was created by act of December 20, 1967 (28
    U.S.C. 620), to further the development and adoption of improved
    judicial administration in the courts of the United States.
        The Center's basic policies and activities are determined by its
    Board, which is composed of the Chief Justice of the United States, who
    is permanent Chair of the Board by statute, and two judges of the U.S.
    courts of appeals, three judges of the U.S. district courts, one
    bankruptcy judge, and one magistrate judge, all of whom are elected for
    4-year terms by the Judicial Conference of the United States. The
    Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts is
    also a permanent member of the Board.
        Pursuant to statute, the Center carries out the following duties:
        --develops and administers orientation and continuing education
    programs for Federal judges, Federal defenders, and nonjudicial court
    personnel, including probation officers, pretrial services officers, and
    clerks' office employees;
        --conducts empirical and exploratory research and evaluation on
    Federal judicial processes, court management, and sentencing and its
    consequences, usually for the committees of the Judicial Conference or
    the courts themselves;
        --produces research reports, training manuals, satellite broadcasts,
    video programs, computer based training, and periodicals about the
    Federal courts;
        --provides guidance and advice and maintains data and records to
    assist those interested in documenting and conserving the history of the
    Federal courts; and
        --cooperates with and assists other agencies and organizations in
    providing advice to improve the administration of justice in the courts
    of foreign countries.
