This site was developed by the National Association of State Judicial Educators (NASJE), through the New Mexico Judicial Education Center, under a contract from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The purpose of this site is to help state and local judges and judicial educators find the most useful and current resources for handling cases or providing judicial training on impaired driving and other traffic safety issues.

The site offers judges access to articles, benchbooks, protocols and other resources for understanding the nature and impacts of impaired driving, and for reviewing the admissibility of field sobriety and chemical tests, conducting DUI trials, imposing sentences or treatment programs, and handling other proceedings.

Judicial education program planners and presenters also will find helpful resources for use in developing and presenting training sessions and reference materials.

The resources can be viewed and searched in several ways. For an explanation of resource descriptions, site organization and search features, click here.

The New Mexico Judicial Education Center expresses its gratitude to Brian Chodrow, National Outreach Division, Office of Communications and Outreach, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, for managing this project, and the following members of the project planning committee for their valuable guidance and contributions: Jerry Beatty, Director, Judicial Branch Education, Iowa State Court Administrator’s Office; William Brunson, Academic Director, National Judicial College; James Drennan, Institute of Government, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Dottie McDonald, Judicial Services Liaison, Smart Start, Inc.; Debra Weinberg, Program Manager, Judge Education, Ohio Supreme Court; and Dawn Wilson, Systems Manager, JERITT Project.
