About this Webinar
In a time of political polarization, institutional erosion, and shifting norms, what pressures challenge lawyers in government, in private practice, and on judicial benches in fulfilling their professional duties to the rule of law—and how should the profession respond?
In this thought-provoking webinar, some of the nation’s most respected legal scholars and professional leaders will come together to explore how emerging and often unprecedented forces are challenging the legal profession’s ability to uphold justice, professional integrity, and judicial independence. Whether you’re a legal professional, policymaker, academic, or simply passionate about the future of ordered liberty and the rule of law—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
There is no cost to attend the event. Experience the discussion live on Tuesday, May 13 at 12:30 PM EDT.
