Defending Justice: Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law with Seth Kirschenbaum & Lynne Borsuk

When the rule of law comes under attack, who speaks up? In Georgia, more than 400 lawyers have come together to form Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law — the only statewide group dedicated to defending judges, lawyers, and the integrity of our justice system.

In this powerful episode of See You In Court, hosts Robin Frazer Clark and Lester Tate welcome Seth Kirschenbaum and Lynne Borsuk to share:

Why they launched this nonpartisan effort
How threats against judges and law firms erode confidence in justice
What ordinary citizens and lawyers alike can do to protect due process

Their message is clear: justice is not partisan — it’s the foundation of our democracy.
