Game-changers for today: build capacity to help fight corruption. The powerful must respect the limits of power. Teach the citizens about the #RuleofLaw, Check the power of the military. @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum

What do people involved in US legal disputes really want? Some answers may be surprising. Fast, fair & impartial decisions, yes. But also telling my story, being heard by other side, and importantly, affordability. @TheWJP #ruleoflaw #WorldJusticeForum #accesstojustice

In losing #RBG in September 2020, the US Supreme Court #SCOTUS lost its last remaining civil rights lawyer. As a young lawyer, she followed Thurgood Marshall’s racial justice example and strategy in her fight for women’s civil rights. @Sifill_LDF #WorldJusticeForum @TheWJP

#RBG brought a practical approach and awareness of the reality of women’s lives. Her dissent in Ledbetter showed how pay disparity actually works in the workplace. Congress later passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. @Sifill_LDF @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum

Will #KBJ bring to the #SCOTUS conference room the same schooling about real-life experience that Justice Thurgood Marshall and later #RBG brought to their fellow justices— sometimes to their discomfort? #WorldJusticeForum @TheWJP

Is the business model of #socmed social media consistent with democracy? The platforms — #Twitter, #Facebook, #instagram and more — often rely on lurid or polarizing content to drive revenue, exacerbating racial and other social divides. @Sifill_LDF #WorldJusticeForum @TheWJP

Be alert to the global movement to shut down protest. Established civil rights activists need to keep the valve open to youth looking to challenge the status quo. Thurgood Marshall was uncomfortable with the methods of 26-year-old #MLK. @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum @Sifill_LDF

Despite significant growth of internet usage in Southeast Asia during the pandemic — particularly via cellphones — inequality of access persists. Solvable and solved by access to finance, education, and healthcare. Ming Tan, @techforgoodtv Institute @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum

At the opening plenary of the 2022 #WorldJusticeForum, @KevinCasasZ calls upon attendees to “turn the tide” against injustice, corruption, and declining adherence to the #ruleoflaw through practical, community-based action.

An @ACLUTx attorney told us Glenn’s recording raises 1st Amendment concerns: “This is very strong evidence of what is happening in the background. But it also raises a host of questions about all the other districts in Texas where this is happening and we don’t have audio.”

The Rs are sending out last-ditch solicitations to the flagging Lindsey Graham campaign with a pitch to “protect...OUR Supreme Court.” (Emphasis mine) Did they miss a memo somewhere about the courts not being owned by a political party?
