Spencer Fane attorney Jose Castro moderated the panel for the July 25 American Bar Association (ABA) webinar, American Democracy and the Rule of Law.
This CLE was part of a three-part series that explores lawyers’ unique role in supporting essential elements of American democracy, such as the rule of law, civil discourse, and election integrity. This kickoff session discussed how the rule of law is foundational to U.S. democracy and explained lawyers’ unique opportunity and obligation to support and defend it.
