Jeff Apperson to Retire from NCSC

Jeff Apperson, one of the Founding Fathers of IACA, has retired from the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) after 14 years as Vice President of International Programs. NCSC is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving judicial administration in the courts across the United States and globally.

Jeff has built an outstanding career over four decades, which includes various roles such as Clerk of Court for U.S. Courts, Attorney Advisor to the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts, and President of both the Federal Court Clerks Association (FCCA) and the National Conference of Bankruptcy Clerks (NCBC). He was a founding father of IACA in 2004, where he also served as President and CEO.

Additionally, Jeff held the position of Chief of Court Management for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Currently, he is the Chairman of the International Institute for Justice Excellence (IIJE), a non-profit organization he established in The Hague in 2016.

At IACA, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Jeff for his vision, leadership, and generous spirit. We wish him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter with his family and the uncountable friends he has made around the world.
