The Trump Administration’s appointment of over 200 federal judges has transformed the federal bench across the country. This presentation will discuss the impact of that transformation by diving into the numbers, evaluating the shifting balance on federal courts, and revealing how the politics of judicial appointments have left some jurisdictions with longstanding vacancies (and overloaded court dockets), even as record numbers of judges are appointed elsewhere. The presentation will also highlight the many ways in which business litigation is affected by judicial appointments and what businesses can expect in future appointments based on the potential outcomes of the upcoming presidential and senatorial elections.

The confirmed speaker for this program, which is pending one general Continuing Legal Education credit in the state of Colorado, are as follows:

• Mark Champoux, Partner, Davis Graham

The number of women, and particularly diverse women, in the highest ranking positions is still far too low. When you factor in those who have children, the numbers are even worse. Our next WILLS panelists, however, have beaten the odds and made it to the top. Certainly, anyone who becomes the Senior VP, Chief Legal Officer, & Corporate Secretary of Arrow Electronics; President & CEO of Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation; or a Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court is incredibly smart and hardworking. But those aren’t the only reasons these women have succeeded. During the next WILLS program, we’ll explore the specific steps these women took and the strategies they employed to reach the highest levels of their profession. We’ll also examine the traits of the people they surround themselves with and the characteristics of the organizations they joined that contributed to their achievements. The goal of this discussion will be to empower women with concrete and practical tools for success, help them adopt the right mindset, and redefine what’s possible.

The confirmed speakers for this program, which has been approved for one general Continuing Legal Education credit in the state of Colorado, are as follows:

• • Lily Hughes, Senior VP, Chief Legal Officer, & Corporate Secretary, Arrow Electronics
  • Jennifer Darling, President & CEO, Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation
  • Justice Monica Márquez, Colorado Supreme Court
