With the help of Hon. Gregg Hirakawa (King County District Court, WA), Hon. Andrew Pate (Alaska Supreme Court), Hon. Randall Warner (Maricopa County Superior Court, AZ), and two members of the Reasonable Doubts, Hon. Sarah Hennessy (Minnesota Supreme Court) and Hon. Mark Ireland (Minnesota Second Judicial District), we’ll be ending our Casework Summer Showcase on a high note! Join us as we talk about balancing legal practice and band practice, musical influences, unusual collaborations, and putting a new spin on “judicial performance.” All judges welcome!

Join us on 9/25 from 12-1 PT / 3-4 ET for another in our series exploring how climate change issues appear in court. This time we focus on insurance cases and hurricanes.

What does a warming world mean for climate risk and insurance? In this webinar, world-renowned meteorologist Dr. Kerry Emanuel will provide an overview of the scientific methods used to quantify climate risk, with a focus on hurricanes. Judges will learn about what we know about the relationship between climate change and hurricanes, what we are still learning, and how these issues may appear in court.

Join Berkeley Judicial Institute and the National Association of Women Judges on Friday, October 23 at 1 pm CT as Dr. Robin Austin, PhD, DNP, DC, RN, NI-BC, FAMIA, FAAN, researcher, writer, and host of “midlife.unmasked” leads an informative, empowering conversation about judging at midlife. 

Please join BJI for Casework, a facilitated drop-in session where judges come together every month to explore the challenges and rewards of judicial work.

Every Casework conversation will be kicked off by three judge “panelists” who share their own experiences and reflections on a set topic. The remainder of the hour will be an open conversation, with attendees chiming in, asking questions, and providing their own insights and ideas. Casework is designed to provide a trusted and confidential space for judges to collectively reflect, learn from one another, and feel supported in their work.
