About Our Speaker:
Becky Kourlis spent nearly two decades on the bench—first as a Colorado state trial judge and then on the Colorado Supreme Court. In 1995, Governor Roy Romer appointed Becky to the Colorado Supreme Court.  There, she authored seminal opinions and dissents in criminal, domestic relations, water, and complex civil cases.Â
She left the bench to found and lead the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) at the University of Denver. She pioneered a data-driven, collaborative process to tackle some of the legal system’s most entrenched problems including discovery, civil rules reform, judicial performance, attorney regulation, and access to justice. She helped to forge true consensus among natural adversaries and built the broad coalition of support necessary to implement long-needed reforms.
Her entire career has focused on serving litigants in a respectful, effective way with active case management and a commitment to efficiency. Â
