Judges and Politics: Navigating the Intersection of Law, Power, and Ethics
Across the country, courts and judges are facing growing public scrutiny and political pressure. How do we protect the independence of our judiciary — and why does it matter for our democracy?
Join us on Thursday, September 18, 2025, for the University of San Francisco’s annual Constitution Day program:
“Judges and Politics: Navigating the Intersection of Law, Power, and Ethics.”
This year’s event will feature the Honorable Linda Colfax moderating a panel of distinguished judicial officers, including:
- Justice Teri L. Jackson
- Judge Suzanne Bolanos (Ret.)
- Judge Michael I. Begert
Together, they will lead an interactive town hall exploring how the courts can remain fair and impartial amidst growing polarization — and what role we play in safeguarding our democracy.
Date: Thursday, September 18, 2025
Time: 5:30-6:30pm PT
Location: Fromm Hall - Xavier Room
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
