Expert Panel Discussion

The year 2020 first brought stay-at-home orders and unprecedented closures of the court system due to the COVID-19 pandemic, then sustained protests over police treatment of African Americans. During this extraordinary year, the Bench has grappled with how to maintain access to the courts. The Bar has confronted COVID-related challenges to the practice of law and its role in ensuring equal access to justice. Finally, Media outlets have worked overtime to cover it all while managing unusual new obstacles to newsgathering. Panelists (listed below) will discuss local efforts to confront these issues from their respective roles as legal community activists, journalists, and law enforcement officials.

Presented by the San Diego Superior Court, San Diego County Bar Association, and San Diego Society of Professional Journalists.
