What does the Task Force do?
The AJS Task Force on Judicial Independence and Accountability has three goals: (1) to monitor developments bearing on judicial independence and accountability at the federal and state levels; (2) to respond to unwarranted attacks on the judiciary and to highly visible situations demonstrating a failure of judicial accountability; and (3) to sponsor programs and educate the public on the relevant issues. Members of the task force presented a program at the 2004 AJS annual meeting. An edited transcript appears in the November-December 2004 issue of Judicature. The Task Force is comprised of current and former members of the Society board of directors.
