In an interactive format, the panel and participants will examine the following questions in an effort at refining thoughts about the best ways to improve the system: What do law school deans and jurists think are the biggest issues facing the justice system today? What improvements can law school deans and judges employ to create lasting beneficial change? Do law school deans and judges have an obligation to educate the public about the justice system and how it should work? If so, what are some ways to educate effectively to improve public trust and confidence? How might the academy and bench better collaborate to strengthen both the workings of our system of justice and confidence in its integrity?

Judges witness both the strength of our legal system and also how it can be unjust, unfair, or in some cases, simply appear to be unjust or unfair. We also know from recent events that a large swath of the American populace believes that the system is unjust, especially towards people of color.
