Politics Aside: State Courts & Federal Elections (part one)

Former Chief Justices Maureen O’Connor and Barbara Pariente break down what judicial independence really means, why it matters, and how state and federal courts differ in their roles. At a time when many Americans lack a basic understanding of how the courts work, they make the case for stronger civic education, greater public trust, and a clearer understanding of why an independent judiciary is essential to the Rule of Law.   For more information on the Alliance of Former Chief Justices, visit Keep Our Republic.
