Description
At a time when polls and pundits indicate that public understanding of the courts is cloudy, participants in this online conversation will meet a federal judge who deals with issues of the day. This is not a lecture format. It is a conversation driven by the participants’ questions and their interest in exploring the ramifications of court decisions on daily life. While judges can’t talk about cases before them, the host judge will answer questions about the federal courts and about a judge’s thought processes, how judges maintain their impartiality, how they handle high-profile cases, and what courts can teach about civil discourse in conflict resolution.
Please note that the class fee will be used to cover Washington Metro Oasis’s administrative costs. Oasis does not profit from this program, and the judge does not receive a stipend.
