About Save Our Courts

The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the nation's oldest, largest, and most diverse civil rights coalition, and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund, the research and education arm of the civil rights coalition, have launched the Save Our Courts campaign to inform the public about the Bush administration's extremist nominees to the federal courts.

The individuals charged with dispensing justice in our society have a direct impact on all of our rights, as well as on protecting the environment, workers, and consumers. The nation's federal judges - who are appointed for life - must be moderate, fair and impartial. What could be more important than saving our courts from extremist ideologues?
