Come out for free lunch & a chance to hear from current Colorado Law students who are publishing their articles in this year's Colorado Law Review (CLR) Volume. As a member of CLR, all members work on their own article (covering any legal topic of their choice) during the first year of their membership. 
 

This is an opportunity for both 1Ls interested in joining CLR during the write-on process in May-June to hear more about how the process works AND for 2Ls who are currently members of CLR and considering submitting their own student Note. What's not to love!

The topics of the articles of current 3Ls who are publishing and will be at the panel:

• Lifetime Tenure, Aging, and Cognitive Disability - David Churchwell (Forthcoming late 2025/early 2026)

  Aging is a fact of life. We all go through it, and we all experience it. But not all of us are federal judges, and not all of us get positions of power for life. Constitutional incentives for federal judges permit federal judges to remain on the bench for long periods of time, which risks the increased prevalence of federal judges with cognitive disabilities. This is a problem, but existing remedies are incomplete. They either exceed the bounds of constitutionality, vilify those with mental health problems, disrespect an individual’s personal dignity in their private health information, or fail to have enforceable standards that hold obstinate judges accountable. This means that existing solutions—including Impeachment, utilizing the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980, mandating confidential competency tests for judges, and closed-door persuasion techniques—are insufficient. Instead, an independent review board comprised of medical and legal professionals should be created to efficiently, effectively, and respectfully address judges with cognitive disabilities.
