2007 Annual Report Showcases Voices of Reform
IAALS recently released 2007 Annual Report: Impact through Partnership featuring 20 esteemed members of the judicial, legal, legislative, policy and media communities including former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. As you read this retrospective, we hope that you will be as inspired by the depth of commitment to civil justice reform—from individuals throughout the U.S. and abroad—as we were.




IAALS and the American Judicature Society (AJS) have collaborated on a timely publication entitled “Judicial Selection in the States: How It Works-Why It Matters.” If recent judicial elections serve as a guide, voters may witness multi-million dollar campaigns, attack advertising and charges of judicial conflicts of interest during the 2008 election season. This report was developed to provide greater clarity and understanding of this complex issue.
