Preserving American Justice in Times of Economic Crisis and Controversy

H. Thomas Wells Jr., President, American Bar Association

What can we do to ensure our courts and judges are viewed as the gold standard for fairness? How will impending decisions on habeas corpus and due process at Guantanamo Bay shape the political landscape? Wells, noted for his outspoken concern regarding judicial independence, will explore these issues.
