Is the Rule of Law Under Siege? Challenges Facing the Federal Courts
You’re invited to join the Council for Court Excellence on Tuesday, October 27 for our Bench-Bar-Media Dialogue event, "Is the Rule of Law Under Siege? Challenges Facing the Federal Courts." Our distinguished guest speakers will reflect on the changing shape of their roles and the importance of maintaining a strong, independent federal judiciary to protect the rule of law, particularly in an era of extreme partisan division. Their interactive and candid discussion will tackle the central topic from multiple angles and perspectives, including:
What are the most pressing current challenges facing the federal courts, particularly in D.C.?
In what ways, if any, is the sanctity of the rule of law actually changing? How can judges, lawyers, and journalists prevent its erosion, actual or perceived?
What are the basic mechanics of an emergency docket? How do emergency dockets impact the operations of and reporting on our federal courts?
What has changed for judges, court staff, and journalists amid the sheer number of lawsuits challenging administration actions and policies, the use of subpoenas and suits targeting journalists, and rising appeals?
PANELISTS:
Chief Judge James E. “Jeb” Boasberg, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
Judge Cornelia T.L. Pillard, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
Join us on October 27th at 6pm for an enlightening conversation. A reception will follow at 7:15pm.
