AFJ represents a coalition of 100 politically leftist groups that have an interest in the federal judiciary.[6] The Alliance for Justice presents a modern liberal viewpoint on legal issues.[7]According to the organization, “AFJ works to ensure that the federal judiciary advances core constitutional values, preserves human rights and unfettered access to the courts, and adheres to the even-handed administration of justice for all Americans.”[8]Judicial advocacy[edit]AFJ launched the Judicial Selection Project in 1985 to monitor the federal judicial appointment system.[9] According to AFJ’s founder, Nan Aron, the organization wanted to guard against the ideological impact of Ronald Reagan’s federal judicial nominees.[10] AFJ objects to judicial nominees who oppose abortion or who promise to exercise judicial restraint.[5] The organization provides background on prospective nominees to the American Bar Association and the Senate Judiciary Committee.[5]AFJ played a role in the defeat of Ronald Reagan nominee Robert Bork’s nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1987.[11] In 2001, the organization supported the nomination of Roger Gregory, a Bill Clinton nominee and the first African-American judge in the Fourth Circuit in 2001.[12] In 2013, AFJ supported President Barack Obama’s three nominees for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.[13]Member organizations[edit]AFJ reports a membership of over 120 organizations. On its website, as of January 7, 2021, AFJ lists the following member groups:[14]References[edit]^ “ALLIANCE FOR JUSTICE – Initial File Number: 741885“. Government of the District of Columbia]”.
