Guarding the Gates of Justice

Philip K. Howard
The Press Enterprise, June 3, 2006

A California newspaper has reprinted an abridged version of Common Good Chair Philip K. Howard’s recent essay, “Making Civil Justice Sane,” which was originally published in the public policy magazine The City Journal. In the article, Howard calls for judges to “see their role not as referees of a neutral dispute-resolution system but as guardians of reasonable choices, constantly making rulings that draw the boundaries of reasonable dispute.”
