State chief justices lead judicial systems that affect millions of people and address some of the most consequential issues facing American courts. Their responsibilities extend beyond deciding cases to improving court operations, expanding access to justice, strengthening public trust, and preparing their judicial systems for emerging challenges.
In Conversations with America’s Chief Justices, Justice Speaks presents one-on-one interviews with the leaders of state judicial systems. Each conversation examines the distinctive work underway in that chief justice’s state while exploring broader issues shaping the future of justice, including court technology and artificial intelligence, treatment and specialty courts, judicial independence, public confidence, and the rule of law.
This is a continuing Justice Speaks series from the Justice Speakers Institute. The Chief Justice interviews in this series are sponsored by Reconnect.
