Thu Jun 4 Webinar – Safeguarding Justice: Judicial Independence in a Changing World with Hon. Christine Walcyzk

Register here
The judiciary is navigating unprecedented challenges and pressures — from the expansion of executive power and politicization of judicial selection processes to public skepticism fueled by declining trust and confidence in our institutions. These forces not only test the judiciary’s independence but also challenge its fundamental role as a guardian of democratic principles and the rule of law.

This session will explore the evolving landscape of judicial governance, examining how external pressures and internal vulnerabilities intersect to impact judicial independence and institutional resilience. Through comparative insights, case studies, and interactive dialogue, participants will consider strategies to reinforce judicial integrity, transparency, and public confidence.

Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the threats facing judicial independence today — and actionable approaches to ensure that courts remain impartial arbiters, capable of upholding justice even in the most turbulent times.

Featuring NAWJ Judicial Independence Committee members Hon. Robin Hudson, Annette Pitts and Hon. Christine Walcyzk.

Sustainer Campaign

As we begin to plan our next steps for action and to work with municipal candidates to offer support, it is vitally important that we have enough funding to do all the work that needs to be done!  Please dig deep if you can, even a $10 monthly donation helps us fund the work we do together. If you can afford more – $25, $50 or even $100 – we can think about bigger action: billboards, print, digital and radio ads! Any donation amount is welcome and appreciated and if monthly is not feasible right now – a one time donation goes a long way too. So far we have $430 in monthly donations with less than a dozen donors – I KNOW we can build on that! – Susan. (To donate, click here)
