LWVAZ Hosts consensus discussion to provide input to the LWVUS Federal Judiciary Study team.

At the LWVUS 2024 Convention, delegates voted to proceed with a fast-tracked study on the federal judiciary, with a final position to be presented at the LWVUS 2025 Council in June.

To facilitate consensus, the state is coordinating virtual, cross-League discussions. These sessions will begin with a brief overview of the proposed topics, followed by small group discussions aimed at reaching a consensus. The meetings will be moderated, and  the results from each meeting will be summarized. The aggregated responses will form the state’s official response to the national study committee.


It is strongly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the study topics before the meeting. A link to the study information is below. You will also receive this information once you are registered for the meeting, and in meeting reminders through ZOOM.

Information about the work of the study committee is available on the League website under the "League Management" section  https://www.lwv.org/league-management/advocacy-litigation/2024-2025-federal-judiciary-study-process-committee-and


Your input is so important. The League Public Policies have led to positive outcomes for democracy in the past. 


Signup today to learn about the study and join the consensus discussions. 

 

Friday - April 4,  12:00 - 2 p.m.  April 4, Registration 

 

Sunday - April 6, 2:00- 4:00 p.m. April 6, Registration
