“Consensus” is the League of Women Voters standard. Before taking a position, and then lobbying for it, League members meet for a “consensus” discussion. “Facilitators” will present consensus questions, offering pro and con and tangential takes on the question. Discussion will follow. The goal is not a majority opinion, but a consensus. You do not need to be an expert on constitutional law, but your own research and expertise are welcome. You only need an open mind for the discussion.

At the 2024 LWVUS Convention, Leagues overwhelmingly agreed to conduct a new national study on the Federal Judiciary. The study will be completed in a shortened time frame — conducted in just one year, with the final position set to be announced at LWVUS Council in June 2025.
