Hosted by the Stanford Center on the Legal Profession, in conjunction with Berkeley’s Civil Justice Research Initiative, Berkeley Executive Education, and the Berkeley Judicial Institute, this symposium will focus on some of the ethical issues raised by increased attacks on the independence and legitimacy of the courts. Recently, these attacks have come most noticeably from the political branches, but are also increasingly seen from practitioners and at times from judges themselves. Our symposium will engage the attention and scrutiny of our practitioner, scholar, and judicial network, and illuminate the issues for the greater public.
The Center on the Legal Profession’s co-director, Professor Nora Freeman Engstrom, will be a featured speaker at the symposium.
