Courts Matter Michigan is a non-partisan coalition of diverse organizations united in their efforts to ensure a well-functioning federal judiciary composed of qualified judges who are committed to upholding our core constitutional values, such as equality, freedom and justice for all. Federal judges who have lifetime appointments make decisions about every aspect of our lives from the quality of the air we breathe and water we drink, to workplace safety and fair pay, our reproductive rights, consumer protections and whom we can marry. The coalition:
• EDUCATES the public and our elected officials about the importance of the judges who sit on all levels of our federal courts, including district courts, circuit courts, and the Supreme Court
• INFORMS our communities about the judicial nominations process and the records of judicial nominees who will be charged with protecting our fundamental constitutional rights
• MOBILIZES Michiganders to speak out and take action to ensure a fair and independent federal judiciary through a process that identifies and provides timely confirmation votes for all well-qualified and diverse nominees dedicated to fairness and impartiality. Join us in ensuring that “Equal Justice Under Law” remains the abiding principle of our judicial system.
