At the 2024 National League of Women Voters Convention, state and local Leagues overwhelmingly agreed to conduct a new national study on the Federal Judiciary. The study seeks to address increasing concern about accountability, transparency, independence, and ethics in the federal court system, including at the Supreme Court level.
The study is set to be completed in a shortened time frame — conducted in just one year, with the final position set to be announced at LWVUS Council in June 2025.
Many state and local League chapters have convened their own study groups to drive adoption of the national resolution or to propose amendments. At our December Luncheon, we announced the convening of our own LWVSP study group. If you’d like to join, please send an email to lwvstpaul@lwvmn.org.
