On June 29, 2026, the US Supreme Court overturned long-standing precedent that protected heads of independent federal agencies. In Trump v. Slaughter, the Court ruled that Congress could no longer insulate heads of executive agencies with statutory “for cause” removal protections. By making executive agencies more dependent to the Executive Branch, the Supreme Court has created an avenue for alternating policy making in agencies ranging from the FCC to the EEOC. However, the Court also carved out one exception in a separate case decided that same day—Trump v. Cook—with respect to the Federal Reserve. With more cases looming on the Supreme Court docket, many question how to reconcile the two seemingly conflicting cases and how these decisions will impact federal administrative law.

The legal system was built around the assumption that both sides have the knowledge, resources, and representation to navigate complex rules and procedures. But, the reality is legal help is financially out of reach for many CT residents who, when their legal rights are at risk, sometimes have to try to navigate a system designed for lawyers on their own. The CT Judicial Branch’s Access to Justice Commission is hosting this half-day, free, conference to bring together people who want to use their legal or professional skills to help others and be a part of implementing change to reduce the barriers and obstacles that stand in the way of meaningful access to courts, the legal system, and justice. At the conference, you will discover resources and tools that you can use to enhance your skills and better serve individuals facing legal matters. You can meet, connect, and share ideas with others in the CT legal community like you – lawyers, judges, and professionals who care about narrowing the access to justice gap. You will hear from inspiring and knowledgeable presenters including (1) Senator Chris Murphy, (2) Chief Justice Raheem Mullins, and (3) Author and Innovator Sateesh Nori. You’ll have an opportunity to learn about various opportunities to do meaningful pro bono or volunteer work.
