Our Courts Colorado

Our Courts is a joint activity of the Colorado Judicial Institute and the Colorado Bar Association that provides nonpartisan information programs to audiences around the state to further public knowledge and understanding of the state and federal courts in Colorado.

Our Courts presentations will address the role of fair and impartial courts in applying and preserving the rule of law.

Available presentations:

• New! Lincoln’s Legacy of Equality & Liberty.  To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, Our Courts speakers are available to make a 25-minute presentation that uses Lincoln’s own words and the words of those who knew him to explain how Lincoln’s commitment to the principles of equality and liberty transformed our nation.
• "Our State Courts" -- how Colorado's procedures for selecting, disciplining, and evaluating judges keep our state courts fair and impartial.  This presentation is available in Spanish. 
• "Our United States Courts" -- the types of cases that are heard in the federal courts and the procedures that keep our federal courts fair and impartial

Our Courts presentations and presenters take no position regarding any court case, legislation, ballot issue, or proposed change to the court system.

Our Courts will actively reach out to potential audiences through:

• Community leadership programs
• Business and economic development associations
• Professional and trade associations
• Service organizations
• Community colleges, undergraduate and graduate schools, and vocational schools
• Libraries
