LWVCNM Members,
This is a reminder to please join us for an educational Zoom meeting tomorrow on the
LWVUS Federal Judiciary Study. Why is this important? Positions are the foundation of League advocacy. If there is not a position, then we cannot advocate on an issue. Many of you have not experienced the study consensus process since they do not occur very often. Because this is a National League study, all Leagues nationwide are having these meetings. Join us tomorrow to learn more and ask your questions before the consensus meeting on Saturday March 22nd.
The LWVUS Federal Judiciary Study initiated during the
June 2024 LWVUS Convention is underway with the LWVCNM Consensus meeting
scheduled Saturday, April 5th from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. via Zoom. For
those of you interested in participating
in this LWVCNM Consensus meeting, we have scheduled a preliminary
educational meeting Saturday, March 22, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to noon via
Zoom, to better prepare members for informed participation during the
Consensus meeting – this educational meeting will
be recorded for those of you with schedule conflicts. The Zoom
invitation is at the end of this email.
LWVUS has posted substantial information on the Federal Judiciary Study
website below and we recommend that you review as much of this material
as your time permits prior to the Consensus meeting. If you prefer to
read these documents individually without
going to the website, please let me know, and I will email the PDFs to
you.
I suggest these items may be the most beneficial to understanding basic principles:
-
Key Terms for the Federal Judiciary Study
-
Study Guide for Leagues (includes links and explanation of LWV Consensus method)
-
12 Consensus Questions (included within FJS Consensus Form)
Please join us for this March 22, 2025 educational session and learn
more about the practices and limitations of the Federal Judiciary.
During the April 5, 2025 LWVCNM Consensus meeting, Mary Henrie Smith,
JD, will serve as Consensus Meeting Discussion Leader;
Karen Wentworth and I will serve as Consensus Recorders; and Mary
Mulvaney will serve as Timekeeper (12 Consensus questions require
response and each member is encouraged to participate, so limiting
response times will be necessary).
LWVCNM is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
