In this webinar, Judge David S. Tatel reflects – as chronicled in his memoir Vision: A Memoir of Blindness and Justice – on his journey in pursuit of justice from a curious student to a passionate civil rights lawyer to a seasoned federal judge who served 30 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, as well as his more private journey from denial to acceptance of his blindness. Goodwin Liu, Associate Justice of the California Supreme Court, moderates the discussion. Judge Tatel shares his insights about the role of attorneys and judges to protect and defend justice for all; the future of democracy and the planet; the importance of civic engagement to meet the challenges facing our country; and the current U.S. Supreme Court.
