The federal courts will have an enormous impact on our lives and the future of the law. It's time progressives start making who sits on these courts a part of their advocacy efforts.

No matter the issue—health care, immigration, marriage equality, offshore oil drilling, privacy, corporate influence—the federal courts will have an enormous impact on our lives and the future of the law. It’s time progressives start making who sits on these courts a part of their advocacy efforts.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
