This episode describes attacks on judges since January 2025, how they differ from past attacks and criticism, the impact of bogus impeachment efforts, and the way forward. Judge Nancy Gertner (Ret.) and Nathan Bruemmer, the Chair of the Rapid Response Committee, reflect on what makes this moment unique, the stakes for judicial independence, and how we can safeguard the integrity of the courts in the face of increasing political pressure.
CRSJ, in collaboration with the DEI Center and its entities, the Center for Public Interest Law and its entities, the Young Lawyers Division, and other Section Divisions and Forums, is launching a new rapid-response project that will provide videos, resources, and other information breaking down key legal developments by explaining specific actions the government is taking, the legality of these actions, its impact on civil rights and daily life, and steps attorneys and advocates can take to protect our communities.
