August 10, 2019 - During the JD program “Avoiding a Game of Thrones in the Courtroom: Fostering Civility and Best Practices” at the ABA Annual Meeting, a distinguished panel of judges and experts discussed the practical tools available to jurists to encourage civil behavior from the lawyers that appear before them.
The quickly evolving world of media has left some judges struggling to adapt. Judge Epps and other authors in this issue of The Judges’ Journal warn about the pitfalls of judges interacting poorly with the media, but they also suggest that avoidance is not the answer. Effectively interacting with the media can allow transparency and help maintain the public’s confidence in the judiciary.
