In the wake of the 2013 congressional budget sequester that pushed the judiciary to the brink, the top judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit said he would like the federal courts to take it upon themselves to inform voters how the system works.
“If our judiciary is to prosper, it must have the support of the citizenry,” Chief Judge Robert Katzmann (See Profile) told his colleagues at the Second Circuit Judicial Conference Thursday morning. “We must find ways to bring our constituencies and our communities into our courthouses to educate them about our justice system, to share ideas for improving the administration of justice in our courts, to empower them as citizens to support the federal judiciary and especially to demonstrate the inherent value of public service in their lives and careers.”
