Please join the Philadelphia Lawyer Chapter and the University of Pennsylvania Law School Student Chapter of the American Constitution Society for a lunchtime program featuring ACS National Board Member, the Honorable Timothy K. Lewis. The discussion will focus on Judge Lewis’ pathway to the bench as well as threats to the independence of the judiciary and how to address them.

Former Federal Appeals Judge Timothy K. Lewis is co-chair of Schnader's ADR Practice Group and serves as a mediator, arbitrator, settlement counselor, and trial and appellate practitioner. Judge Lewis is a past co-chair of Schnader's Appellate Practice Group.

Before entering private practice, Judge Lewis served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
