DALLAS, March 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ABOTA has been attentive to the hostile rhetoric that attacks the independence of the judiciary and seeks to erode the Rule of Law. Personal attacks on judges of the law and jurors, who are judges of the facts, are never warranted and are entirely inconsistent with our American System of Justice.

Key Points: 
  • Personal attacks on judges of the law and jurors, who are judges of the facts, are never warranted and are entirely inconsistent with our American System of Justice.
  • We thank the judiciary for their fortitude and sacrifice while serving as stewards of the Rule of the Law, especially in these trying times.
  • We encourage the judges to persevere in the efficient administration of due process and the constant improvement of the law.
  • A jury verdict declares that no single person or entity can control the law for their own purposes.
