Cal. R. 5.340
Every commissioner whose principal judicial assignment is to hear child support matters must attend the following judicial education programs:
Within one year of beginning an assignment as a child support commissioner, the judicial officer must attend a basic educational program on California child support law and procedure designed primarily for judicial officers. The training program must include instruction on both state and federal laws concerning child support. A judicial officer who has completed the basic educational program need not attend the basic educational program again.
The judicial officer must attend an update on new developments in child support law and procedure at least once each calendar year.
To the extent that judicial time and resources are available, the judicial officer is encouraged to attend additional educational programs on child support and other related family law issues.
The requirements of this rule are in addition to and not in lieu of the requirements of rule 10.462.
