This dynamic discussion on "Defending the Third Branch" took place at the ACS 2018 National Convention on Friday, June 8.

The third branch is in danger of being reshaped in ways that affect hard-won gains in civil and human rights, economic and criminal justice, and basic access to a fair and impartial justice system for generations to come. Our speakers will discuss what can be learned from other democracies’ experiences with attacks on the judiciary, and how we can think - and speak - differently in the courts’ defense in order to help the public understand what is at stake.
