JUDICIAL CONFERENCE

Attorney General Janet Reno will be among the dignitaries attending a National Center for State Courts conference on the future of the judiciary.

The three-day conference beginning Saturday also marks the 25th anniversary of the Williamsburg-based center, a nonprofit clearinghouse for states to share ideas in court administration.

The conference will review the issues and challenges facing state judiciaries, from correcting public notions about how courts work to handling increased TV coverage of trials.

Gov. George F. Allen will speak at Saturday's opening ceremony. Reno will speak Sunday. by CNB
