In an op-ed for Bloomberg Law published on Oct. 24, 2023, Judge Paul W. Grimm (ret.), director of the Bolch Judicial Institute of Duke Law, said that lawyers and bar associations must speak out when judges and the judiciary have been subjected to unfair and inaccurate attacks.

In response, Judge Grimm calls for members of the legal profession to defend judges “now, and with a renewed sense of urgency.”
