Presidents Appointing Judges
Wednesday, March 28th at 7:00 p.m.
As UVM professor Lisa Holmes explains, while presidents have long used judicial appointments to tilt the judiciary in one direction or another, less common historically have been presidents gaining great political benefit from appointing judges for ideological reasons. Its impact on the health of the judiciary remains to be seen. This talk has been rescheduled from March 7th.
