Merry Christmas to the State Courts

Dec 25, 2025

Sarah Isgur sits down for a live recording at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Carlos G. Muñiz, Texas Supreme Court Justice Evan A. Young, and District of Columbia Court of Appeals Judge Joshua Deahl to talk legal philosophy, the state of civil justice, and the challenges that appellate justices face in an ever-more-litigious United States.

The Agenda:

  • Why state courts matter
  • Texas’ new Business Courts, explained
  • How judges are selected in Florida
  • Florida’s rulemaking power over civil procedure
  • Why D.C. doesn’t have a “Supreme Court”
  • Why state constitutions change so often
  • Are judges using AI?
  • Judicial elections and accountability
