[Lwvcnmtopics] LWVCNM - Reminder Federal Judiciary Study Educational Meeting Tomorrow March 22nd - 9am to Noon - on Zoom

[LWV CentralNewMexico]

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.
Link to February 4, 2025 LWVUS Town Hall on the LWVUS Management Federal
Judiciary Study website:

<https://www.lwv.org/league-management/advocacy-litigation/2024-2025-federal-judiciary-study-process-committee-and>*
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).
For more information, please contact Karen Douglas at
douglaskm at alumni.stanford.edu.

LWVCNM is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
