How do decisions by federal judges affect your life? How do they influence the environment, civil rights, abortion, disability rights, and protections for workers? What is the ‘nuclear option’? Come to tomorrow's teach-in at Yale Law School and find out the answers to these questions and how you can get involved in the process by which federal judges are selected. Featured speakers will include Professors Jack Balkin, Deborah Cantrell, and Judith Resnik of Yale Law School and Erica Swanson, field director for judicial nominations at the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.

This teach-in is co-sponsored by the Yale College Democrats. For further details, see http://islandia.law.yale.edu or e-mail megan.ceronsky@yale.edu.
