Chief Justice Roberts Issues 2019 Year-End Report

Close out your appellate year with a reading of Chief Justice Roberts' 2019 Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary

  • we have come to take democracy for granted, and civic education has fallen by the wayside. In our age, when social media can instantly spread rumor and false information on a grand scale, the public’s need to understand our government, and the protections it provides, is ever more vital. The judiciary has an important role to play in civic education, and I am pleased to report that the judges and staff of our federal courts are taking up the challenge. 
  • Each generation has an obligation to pass on to the next, not only a fully functioning government responsive to the needs of the people, but the tools to understand and improve it.
