Elizabeth Pipkin, Ninth Circuit Judicial Council Lawyer Representative, attended the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference held in San Francisco. Attendees included judges from many different courts, lawyers, court staff, and special guests. The theme of the conference was “Law, Society, and Technology: The Challenges and Opportunities Ahead.” Inspired by San Francisco’s proximity to Silicon Valley, the program focused on how technology is shaping citizen’s rights and the law. In addition, there were workshops and panel discussions dedicated to civil rights, civic education and citizenship, election law, and the media.
