The New York County Lawyers Association Presents A Discussion on the Trust in Justice Project

The Trust in Justice Project is a groundbreaking initiative led by Richard Gabriel, the nation’s leading trial consultant, which sought to understand and address the declining trust in America’s legal institutions.

The investigation began with a comprehensive national survey where Richard and his team sought to grasp the sentiments of the average citizen. The survey measured the public’s trust and confidence in the main institutions in our justice system: law enforcement, the court system (including the Supreme Court), Congress, and our corrections system.

The results were eye-opening, revealing how the public viewed the perceived bias of the courts and police, how well they thought the justice system worked, how fair they thought the courts and the overall system worked, how well they understood the system, and how the media’s reporting on the system contributed to their views.

This program will gather leaders of New York’s legal community to discuss:

– the Trust in Justice Project’s findings candidly,

– their present challenges with the justice system

– and the means and methods available to improve the public’s trust in the justice system.

There will also be ample opportunity to take questions and comments from both the live and virtual audiences.
