2023 Annual Conference

Welcome to the 2023 Annual Conference!

The annual conference entitled Fulfilling the Promise of Justice for All through Connection will focus on Racial Justice and barriers to equity in our justice system. We must recognize that justice is not equally distributed. There are many perceived injustices based on race and ethnicity, socioeconomics, gender, and disability. Courts must be mindful of such barriers so that innovations and system improvements can be implemented.

What are current levels of public trust and confidence in the justice system, and how do systemic racism and societal inequities affect those levels? This conference will be looking at the historical and legal developments that brought us to the current system. We will also look to explore new approaches to delivering justice and fulfilling its promise.

Americans need to have confidence that the courts will deliver equal justice, and that rulings will be independent and fair-minded. Courts must be seen as the ultimate protector of America’s promise of fairness, commitment to the rule of law and cornerstone of democracy. Our democracy depends on fair and independent courts to protect against abuses of power, provide checks and balances, and administer justice.

IF YOU RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM ANY SERVICE PROVIDER
As a reminder – companies that call or email you indicating they have special hotel rates available for the show are “pirate housing companies” and DO NOT represent NACM or the hotel. If you are contacted, we strongly recommend that you DO NOT use their services. No legitimate hotel will ever contact you directly asking you to make reservations.

You may also receive calls or emails from companies soliciting the sale of the attendee list. NACM does not sell the attendee list.
