SUMMARY:NAWJ Webinar: Creating a Court Immersion Experience
DESCRIPTION:September 29\, 2026 \n3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM MT / 12:00 PM PT / 11:00 AM AKT \nThe District of Columbia Courts with support from the State Justice Institute\, and the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center have partnered with YOUTOPIAN to develop a groundbreaking 360-degree interactive experience that brings the DC Courts to life. By combining intuitive virtual navigation with clear\, accessible explanations\, the platform transforms how residents\, students\, educators\, lawyers\, and self-represented litigants learn about both the trial and appellate processes. \nRather than confronting a maze of legal jargon or unfamiliar procedures\, users step into a virtual court environment where they receive information and education about court resources and each phase of the appeal is broken down into digestible\, real-world scenarios. The experience guides participants through the Superior Court and the Court of Appeals\, allowing users to “walk” the halls of each court building. The Court of Appeals project\, just released this past spring\, illustrates how cases travel from notice of appeal to briefing\, oral argument\, and final decision. The Pro Bono Center’s project\, which launched in 2024\, allows users to interact with avatars created from actual judges and staff and hear their personal stories\, offering a unique glimpse of the people behind the bench and courthouse.  Interactive modules highlight the judges and staff who support this process—individuals whose work\, though critical\, traditionally occurs out of public view. \nBy visualizing the court\, demystifying the workflow\, providing valuable information about court resources\, and offering a transparent look at how decisions are made\, both projects lower barriers to civic engagement. It empowers community members to see themselves as part of the justice system\, not outsiders standing at a distance. For educators\, it serves as a dynamic teaching tool; for litigants\, a confidence building guide; and for the public\, a window into how trial and appellate justice shapes everyday life in the District of Columbia. \nThis webinar will explore the vision behind the Court Immersion Experience\, its development\, and its impact—highlighting how innovative technology can strengthen trust\, understanding\, and accessibility within the judicial system. \nSpeakers:

SUMMARY:NAWJ Webinar - Safeguarding Justice: Judicial Independence in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:June 4\, 2026\n4:30 PM ET / 3:30 PM CT / 2:30 PM MT / 1:30 PM PT / 12:30 PM AKT\nREGISTER HERE\n \n\nSafeguarding Justice: Judicial Independence in a Changing World\n\nThe judiciary is navigating unprecedented challenges and pressures — from the expansion of executive power and politicization of judicial selection processes to public skepticism fueled by declining trust and confidence in our institutions. These forces not only test the judiciary’s independence but also challenge its fundamental role as a guardian of democratic principles and the rule of law.\n\nThis session will explore the evolving landscape of judicial governance\, examining how external pressures and internal vulnerabilities intersect to impact judicial independence and institutional resilience. Through comparative insights\, case studies\, and interactive dialogue\, participants will consider strategies to reinforce judicial integrity\, transparency\, and public confidence.\n\nAttendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the threats facing judicial independence today — and actionable approaches to ensure that courts remain impartial arbiters\, capable of upholding justice even in the most turbulent times.\n\nThe Judicial Independence Committee of the National Association of Women Judges will introduce its new website and upcoming resources for NAWJ members\, which include videos\, animations\, social media messages\, PowerPoint slide decks\, printable handouts\, and more. By using these resources\, NAWJ members and collaborators can message effectively about the importance of preserving an independent judiciary.\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n 	Analyze how the changing geopolitical landscape threatens judicial independence and institutional resilience.\n 	Explore the relationship between judges\, free speech\, and judicial independence.\n 	Identify concrete communication strategies for safeguarding judicial independence.\n 	Examine the status of public trust and confidence in the courts and the judiciary.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n \n\nSpeakers:\n\nHon. Robin Hudson\, Justice (Ret.)\, North Carolina Supreme Court\n\nAnnette Pitts\, National Education Chair\n\nHon. Christine Walcyzk\, Judge\, North Carolina 10th Judicial District
