It was an honor to give the closing plenary speech at the World Justice Forum in Warsaw, Poland. I met amazing lawyers and judges there, including the Polish Minister of Justice Adam Bodnar, who is helping the country recover from a multi-year assault on the judiciary, and Mehmet Tank, who was one of thousands of judges imprisoned in Turkey for doing their jobs. The grit and courage of people like Bodnar and Tank are truly inspiring. But to protect democracy in this moment, we cannot leave law to lawyers and judges alone. We need mass legal empowerment. In my brief remarks, I described what that can look like.
