Register for the upcoming webinar, Prosecutorial Independence and the Rule of Law, at: www.americanbar.org/events-cle/mtg/web/445186848/
“We are living in a pivotal moment when democratic norms and the rule of law are being challenged in novel and unexpected ways as we struggle to adapt to rapid technological and cultural changes that have changed our relationships and dialogue with each other. In maintaining the rule of law, prosecutorial discretion and independence are essential. Yet not everyone believes that prosecutorial independence exists or understands why it matters. In this panel, former Department of Justice leaders and veteran prosecutors will explore recent challenges to prosecutorial independence and the rule of law at the federal level, including the Project 2025 proposal by the Heritage Foundation.”
