WHERE: Online via Microsoft Teams *

At LWVUS Convention 2024, delegates voted to proceed with a study to develop a position on the federal judiciary as an essential component of US democracy. The study's purpose includes addressing concerns and clarifying judicial accountability, transparency, independence, and ethics.

The LWVUS Federal Judiciary Study Committee has been hard at work preparing materials for League members to consider as we move toward consensus meetings on the federal judiciary.  To ensure League members are as prepared as possible, we have arranged a Town Hall meeting with leading experts, including Alicia Bannon of the Brennan Center, Thomas Berry of the CATO Institute, and Errin Martin of NVG LLC.   The Town Hall will allow League members to learn more about the Federal Judiciary and pose questions to the speakers.
