Temple of Justice
Olympia, WA

Share this event:

This year's Washington Courts Historical Society seminar celebrates the centennial anniversary of the Temple of Justice with an incredible legal and judicial education opportunity.

Through imagery and discussion, this unique seminar will take participants on a tour into the past of the Temple of Justice and diverse areas of the law spanning the past 100 years. Yale Law Professors and coauthors of the book, Representing Justice: Invention, Controversy, and Rights in City-State and Democratic Courtrooms, Judith Resnik and Dennis Curtis will begin the day with a presentation on the interrelationship of democracy, courthouses, representations of justice, and the fundamental principles of access to justice and open administration of justice.

Guided by present and former Justices of the Supreme Court, a United States Federal Court Judge, and distinguished members of the Washington State Bar Association, we will look back at developments in diverse areas of the law over the past 100 years, developments that have found their way into the cases argued and decided within the walls of the Temple itself. The program concludes with a look forward, as participants engage in a panel discussion of how past trends might play out in the future, moderated by University of Washington School of Law Dean, Kellye Testy.
