It is exciting to share that Judy Ball, President of the League of Women Voters of Morgantown-Monongalia County, is serving on the Federal Judiciary Study Committee! This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about and contribute to a League study from its earliest stages by joining the Federal Judiciary Study Kickoff!

League studies like this are increasingly rare, often replaced by Consensus studies due to the historically lengthy process involved. However, this study is intentionally designed with a shortened time frame, aiming to establish a final position by June 2025. This makes it a unique chance to have your voice heard and to influence League work on this important topic.

I encourage all members to participate in the webinar on November 20 at 6 pm ET or register to stay updated on the study materials and timeline. Engaging early ensures you’re part of shaping this critical initiative, showcasing the power of the League in addressing pressing issues.

Dear Jonathan,

At the 2024 LWVUS Convention, Leagues overwhelmingly agreed to conduct a new national study on the Federal Judiciary. The study will be completed in a shortened time frame — conducted in just one year, with the final position set to be announced at LWVUS Council in June 2025.

I am happy to report that the work on this study has commenced. A Committee has been appointed and will be led by Kimberley Fraser (DC), LWVEF trustee. The Committee also includes Helen Hutchison (CA), Cecile Scoon (FL), Judy Ball (WV), Joan Hunault (MI), Susan Hart (TX), and Nan Shuker (DC).

The Committee will provide members with an overview of the study timeline, scope, and materials during a webinar on November 20, 2024, at 6pm ET. Please join us to hear more from the Committee chair and vice-chair and find out how you can be part of this LWVUS study.

Even if you cannot attend the webinar, registering will ensure you receive any materials shared.

We look forward to continuing to work together to successfully execute this study.

In League,

Dianna Wynn
