Holding Court: The Importance of
Professional Diversity on the Bench
Wednesday, May 12, 2021 @ 6:00 PM ET

Public defenders, trial attorneys,
and advocates for workers, civil rights, and environmental protections have been severely underrepresented within our federal judiciary while individuals from corporate and prosecutorial legal backgrounds have been fast-tracked to the bench. Our federal judiciary must reflect the depth of experience across all corners of the legal profession and the country.

By ensuring that a variety of backgrounds and life experiences are brought to bear when judges consider the cases that affect our daily lives, we not only improve the accuracy and legitimacy of judicial decisions, but ultimately strengthen the very foundation of our democracy.

Please join Alliance for Justice on Wednesday, May 12th at 6 PM Eastern for a Holding Court conversation featuring comments by Senator Elizabeth Warren and a panel discussion featuring Chris Geidner, Editorial Director at The Appeal, Elie Mystal, Justice Correspondent at The Nation, and Kate Shaw, Professor of Law and the Co-Director of the Floersheimer Center for Constitutional Democracy at Cardozo Law School, for a discussion on the importance, necessity, and positive impacts of professional diversity on the federal bench.
