Alliance for Justice Judicial Selection Project
Since its inception in 1985, the Alliance's Judicial Selection Project has taken the lead in raising the visibility of the importance of the federal courts. The Project monitors judicial nominations at all levels of the federal bench. It encourages public participation in the selection and confirmation process and raises public awareness about the significant impact the federal judiciary has on the country. The Project promotes support for the nomination and confirmation of fair and qualified judges who have demonstrated a commitment to equal justice.

The work of the Project includes: collecting and analyzing information on judicial nominees for members of the bar, Congress, and the public; promoting standards for federal judges; and organizing coalitions of labor, civil rights, environmental and other public interest groups around particular nominees.

JSP also works on a wide variety of projects related to access to justice. In the current administration, we have produced reports on all nominees to the Courts of Appeals. We frequently place articles and op-eds on issues related to the judiciary and its impact on U.S. policy.
