• Your rights have been stolen. It’s time to get them back!

  Big corporations and their friends on the Supreme Court have teamed up to take away your ability to seek justice for yourself and your family, fight corporate abuse of consumers and workers, and join with others to pursue equal justice under law. The issue is forced arbitration and, whether you know it or not, you have already been victimized.

   

• Tell your Senators: Help Broaden the Bench

  Like all human beings, judges are the product of their background and experiences, including their professional lives before taking the bench. When a judge decides whether a claim is “plausible,” or whether a witness is “credible,” or whether police officers, when they stopped and searched a pedestrian, acted “reasonably,” her determination is necessarily colored by the nature of her work as a lawyer up to that point.

  That’s why AFJ has been focusing on the urgent need for more professional diversity on the federal bench. It was the topic of our highly regarded report and a forum featuring Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
