Really enjoyed hearing SJQ alum Judge Jared Bennett (JD '01) and Judge Dustin Pead’s presentation on sovereign citizens at the Tenth Circuit Bench and Bar conference. I learned a lot!

Really appreciated hearing Utah @govcox.bsky.social and @govmlg.bsky.social (D, NM) speak on the importance of disagreeing better with Judge Shelby moderating at the Tenth Circuit Bench & Bar Conference. So glad our governor is willing to champion the cause.
