Fromm Hall — 120 - Xavier Auditorium

Across the country, courts and judges are facing growing public scrutiny and political pressure. How do we protect the independence of our judiciary — and why does it matter for our democracy?
Join us on Wednesday, September 18, 2025, for the University of San Francisco’s annual Constitution Day program:
“Judges and Politics: Navigating the Intersection of Law, Power, and Ethics.”
This year’s event will feature the Honorable Linda Colfax moderating a panel of distinguished judicial officers, including:
- Justice Teri L. Jackson
- Judge Suzanne Bolanos (Ret.)
- Judge Michael I. Begert
Together, they will lead an interactive town hall exploring how the courts can remain fair and impartial amidst growing polarization — and what role we play in safeguarding our democracy.
Date: Wednesday, September 18, 2025
Time: 5:30-6:30pm PT
Location: Fromm Hall - Xavier Room
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
