"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

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.

NEW REPORT: 40+ law schools have withdrawn from the US News rankings, saying it offers a flawed notion of prestige. They're right.

Our new research shows the top 20-ranked law schools have produced fossil fuel lawyers at *over 3 times* the rate of the average US law school (1/6)

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.

"Two things President Biden, Leader Schumer and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin can do to be even more effective in their approach to judges: (1) expanding the scope of the professional diversity of future nominees and (2) eliminating the blue slip process."

[People's Parity Project @PeoplesParity]

President Biden has made judicial nominations a top priority — but there's still a long way to go if we want to see a federal judiciary that works for the people.
