Conversations on Civil Justice, Profiles in Legal Courage: “Judges Standing Up for the Rule of Law”
Friday, December 5, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Event Navigation
Earlier this year, on Constitution Day, a group of more than 40 retired federal judges issued an extraordinary first-of-its kind bipartisan statement expressing concern about attacks on the judiciary and the rule of law. Several sitting judges have also recently voiced concern. Why are judges speaking out? How are they responding to the threats on the judiciary and rule of law? What can lawyers and members of the community do to support the continued independence of the judiciary and the rule of law?
Please join us for a discussion of the issues with Judge Jeremy Fogel (ret.), Judge Philip Pro (ret.), Judge Bernice Bouie Donald (ret.), and Professor Amrit Singh from the Rule of Law Lab at NYU Law. MCLE offered.
