FAQs

Membership questions.

If your question is not covered here, email info@thecajo.org.

Who is a judicial officer? +

A judicial officer includes a judge, master, magistrate, registrar, court administrator, deputy or assistant registrar, and any other person appointed or serving in a judicial or adjudicatory capacity, including members of tribunals, boards, commissions or similar bodies.

What is the difference between membership types? +

A full member may attend, participate in, and vote at the Conference of the Association. Associate members, honorary members, and amici judici are not eligible to vote. Member-only judicial forums are available to Full and Associate members.

How do I pay, and are fees refundable? +

After your application is approved you will receive a secure online payment link. Membership fees are non-refundable and not pro-rated. Paying mid-cycle still ends at the period close (e.g. 28 February). You are only considered a member upon successful payment.

How does the Conference discount work? +

Discounts are based on consecutive years of membership: 10% after one year, 15% after two consecutive years, capped at 20% for three or more consecutive years. A gap in membership resets the consecutive-year count.
