April 17+18: Neither Sword Nor Purse - Defending America’s Independent Judiciary and the Rule of Law

Title:

Neither Sword Nor Purse: Defending America's Independent Judiciary and the Rule of Law

Description:

Attacks on the independent judiciary undermine public confidence in the courts and weaken the foundation of the American legal system.

A two-day national symposium at UW Law, “Neither Sword Nor Purse,” will convene retired federal judges, legal leaders, scholars, and journalists to examine the rule of law, the foundations of judicial independence, and current attacks on courts. Speakers and panels will also focus on public trust, civic education, and strategies for addressing misinformation about our judiciary.

While it took a Broadway musical to put Alexander Hamilton back in the public eye, attacks on the Constitution have kept him here. In his Federalist No. 78 essay defending the necessity of an independent judiciary, Hamilton observes that the judicial branch has neither “the sword” (military authority) nor “the purse” (fiscal authority). Thus, judicial independence and impartiality must be protected from undue interference.

Free and Open to the Public!
