"Georgia’s bench, like those of most states, is full of judges who came to the bench after representing the powerful, rather than the people. What kind of message does this disparity send to a young lawyer like myself?" –Angela Rofael, 1L at GSU Law peoplesparity.medium.com/our-courts-are…

GA courts have immense power over the lives of people in the state, but little attention has been paid to who sits on those courts—leaving them to be filled with corporate, carceral judges. @BillyCorriher with a new report on the state of justice in GA: peoplesparity.org/imbalancedjust…

The vast majority of judicial cases are heard in state courts, not federal. It's imperative that these benches reflect the best of our communities, not just corporate America. @skennedy2504 on @UConnParity's campaign for a pro-people judiciary in CT: ctnewsjunkie.com/2023/03/01/op-…

The Supreme Court is coming for every aspect of our multiracial democracy. This term, racial justice in higher education is on the chopping block. @trisquire for @TeenVogue on the effort to end affirmative action: teenvogue.com/story/supreme-…
