"The independence of courts depends, paradoxically, on their willingness to engage with the communities that they serve. That means they must invite the public in to learn up close about what courts do and how they fit in to the constitutional system. But it also means that they must engage their communities outside the courthouse, whether in classrooms, libraries, or civic events. The First Circuit has long been committed to doing just that, and it is eager to continue those efforts and to find new ways of connecting."
- Chief Judge David J. Barron, United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
