Law Day 2023: Cornerstones of Democracy
"We invite all the people of the United States to join us in rebuilding trust in our institutions, respect for one another, and our willingness to collaborate to address the challenges that face our nation. Civics, Civility, and Collaboration. In recent years, tensions in our democratic system have revealed deep divisions in American society. These divisions are aggravated by incivility in public discourse and insufficient understanding among many people about the Constitution and the way American government works. Together, however, we can collaborate to overcome our differences, resolve our disputes, and preserve our democracy and republic. To that end, we call on members of the legal profession to lead the way in promoting civics, civility, and collaboration—the cornerstones of our democracy.”
Judge Ronald B. Adrine, Ret.
Judge Adrine’s award-winning career began as an Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecuting Attorney in the criminal division. He practiced with his father, the late Russell T. Adrine and was appointed to serve as senior staff counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations. He served on the Cleveland Municipal Court bench from 1981 until 2017. Judge Adrine joined Cleveland State University’s Cleveland-Marshall College of Law as a Leader-in-Residence, serving as its first jurist-in-residence in 2018.
