Judges Listening: Conversations with America

Built on Listening
Justice isn’t abstract—it affects all of us.

Judges Listening: Conversations with America is an initiative of The National Judicial College to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It offers judges and their communities the resources to convene conversations about the Declaration’s principles of the Rule of Law and judicial independence.

Judges Listening seeks to build public trust through community conversations about justice. It offers judges the knowledge and tools to convene conversations with their community, beyond the bench and bar. It celebrates the Declaration of Independence and its core principles of judicial independence and the Rule of Law. Conversations can begin with a bit of 1776 and then explore how those principles affect your daily lives.
