These are challenging times, on many fronts. Specifically, courts and the judiciary are under pressure. When democracies tumble, or die, what is the role of courts? What are promising judicial strategies, resilient doctrines, and helpful remedies? We invite you to join a conversation with eminent judges from around the world to address these questions.
