    ABA remains dedicated to our longstanding practice not to take a position on whether a federal court nominee should be confirmed. We do take a position of respect for the rule of law and due process, and of our commitment to maintaining public trust in our government institutions

    We urge that a confirmation vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination be considered only after an appropriate FBI background check into recent allegations. Letter to Senate Judiciary Committee here: bit.ly/2xV6Qh9 @BarPresidents @NABE_News @ABAJD

    I'm proud of all the women lawyers I know and have worked with. In my experience, women lawyers both with & w/out children are among the most organized, strategic & hardworking professionals I've ever encountered @ABAWomen @WomenRainmakers

    Justice Ginsburg made vast, lasting contributions to the law and the legal profession. She was a commanding voice as an advocate for gender equality and a tenacious protector of the rule of law. She inspired generations of young lawyers in her lifetime. americanbar.org/news/abanews/a…

    Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in the ABA Annual Meeting in Chicago. Together, we made a real show of force for America's lawyers, our profession, and the rule of law--and we will continue to do so. Thank you again for all you do to advance justice

    In a victory for access to justice, Congress & the administration came together in bipartisan fashion to increase legal aid funding for low-income Americans. Thank you to all who helped make this happen @LSCtweets @ABAYLD @BarPresidents @ABAhod
