Join us for a complementary dinner and discussion about the Power and Perception: Democracy, Enforcement, and Trust in U.S. Courts. A timely and crucial discussion on the evolving role of the judiciary in American life.

In an era of dynamic political and social change, the relationship between the public, democracy, and the U.S. court system is more vital—and complex—than ever. 

The discussion features Lee Epstein, David French, and Michelle Goldberg.
