Advancing Principles and Accountability for an Independent Legal Profession

The Lodestar Foundation funded a strategic consulting project with Keep Our Republic to translate insights from a bipartisan convening at Princeton University into coordinated action to strengthen the rule of law. This project supports the development and dissemination of Principles on Preserving the Independence of the Legal Profession and advances a coordinated strategy to engage leading law firms, judges, law schools, and bar associations. Through targeted outreach, coalition-building, and public accountability, the consulting effort seeks to encourage collective resistance to political intimidation and reinforce professional norms essential to a functioning democracy. Together, the convening and consulting project reflect Lodestar’s commitment to pairing timely intervention with sustained follow-through—ensuring that critical conversations lead to concrete, system-level impact.
