Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox organization
The Alliance for Justice (AFJ) is a progressive judicial advocacy group in the United States.[1][2] Founded in 1979 by former president Nan Aron, AFJ monitors federal judicial appointments. AFJ represents a coalition of 100 politically leftist groups that have an interest in the federal judiciary.[3] The Alliance for Justice presents a modern liberal viewpoint on legal issues.[4]
According to the organization, "AFJ works to ensure that the federal judiciary advances core constitutional values, preserves human rights and unfettered access to the courts, and adheres to the even-handed administration of justice for all Americans."[5]
Judicial advocacy
AFJ launched the Judicial Selection Project in 1985 to monitor the federal judicial appointment system.[6] According to AFJ's founder, Nan Aron, the organization wanted to guard against the ideological impact of Ronald Reagan's federal judicial nominees.[7] AFJ objects to judicial nominees who oppose abortion or who promise to exercise judicial restraint.[2] The organization provides background on prospective nominees to the American Bar Association and the Senate Judiciary Committee.[2]
AFJ played a role in the defeat of Ronald Reagan nominee Robert Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1987.[8] In 2001, the organization supported the nomination of Roger Gregory, a Bill Clinton nominee and the first African-American judge in the Fourth Circuit in 2001.[9] In 2013, AFJ supported President Barack Obama's three nominees for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.[10]
