The State Court Judiciary: A Program for Reform
Summary
On April 8,
AJS staff members attended and participated in a program at
Fordham Law School entitled “Enhancing Judicial Independence,
Accountability, and Selection for the State Court Judiciary: A
Program for Reform.” |
This program was the
fourth regional conference offered through the Sandra Day O’Connor
Project on the State of the Judiciary at Georgetown University Law
Center. Two national programs were held in 2006 and 2007.
The April 8
program began with introductions and remarks by U.S. Supreme Court
Justices Sandra Day O’Connor (Ret.) and Stephen G. Breyer, and featured
four moderated panels on judicial independence, impartiality,
accountability, and performance. Program participants and attendees are
now forming working groups to develop recommendations for reform.
