The Board of Directors of the Yale Club of Hartford cordially invites you to a dinner and a talk by Yale Law School Professor Judith Resnik. The evening will also serve as the Club's Annual Meeting.
Professor Resnik is the Arthur Liman Professor of Law at Yale Law School, where she teaches about federalism, procedure, courts, prisons, equality, and citizenship. Dennis Curtis, Clinical Professor Emeritus of Law, Professorial Lecturer in Law, and Supervising Attorney at Yale Law School, Professor Resnik's husband, will attend with Professor Resnik.
THE TOPIC: In ancient times, judges were loyal servants of the state; members of the audience were passive spectators watching rituals of power, and only certain persons were eligible to participate as disputants, witnesses, or decision makers. In contrast, today judges are independent actors in complex and critical relationships with the government and with the public, and all persons are equally entitled to participate. But this twentieth-century invention of democratic courts is at risk by processes that undermine the public dimensions of adjudication and undercut arguments for judicial independence.
