Across the country, legislators are escalating assaults on state courts and using increasingly hostile rhetoric aimed at judges who issue decisions some dislike – including threats of impeachment, reducing the authority of courts, and other measures that harm separation of powers and checks and balances. These tactics not only undermine the rule of law, but also place judges and the justice system under extraordinary pressure.

Join us for our annual webinar on January 29th at 1pm ET: we’ll examine the growing campaign against judicial integrity at the state court level, why state courts matter, and what can be done to protect and advance judicial integrity – an integral part of a just, equitable democracy. Our panel of experts and frontline advocates will break down recent attacks and share how they are pushing back through tactics like public education and coalition-building.

This webinar is open to both funders and advocates. Participants will gain insights into emerging national trends, concrete examples from states facing the greatest threats, and actionable strategies for safeguarding fair and impartial courts. Register now!

Speakers:

• Mike Milov-Cordoba, Counsel, Judiciary Program, Brennan Center for Justice

• Kadida Kenner, Founding Chief Executive Officer, New Pennsylvania Project

• Laura Rodriguez, Chair, Courts Matter Florida Coalition

• Rikki Henderson, Table Director, Montana State Voices
