Current affairs remind us that the rule of law is fragile. Lawyers particularly have an obligation to stand up and speak out when the rule of law is under attack; when just and fair law that treats everybody equally is replaced by unjust law — even when enacted by governments. Starting in 1933, few German lawyers sounded the alarm when the Nazis enacted a series of laws designating German Jews as less than full citizens and implemented occupational bans that over five years barred all Jewish lawyers and jurists from the legal profession. This engaging program explored why silence is not an option when the rule of law is under attack.
