The Republic's founders had the great foresight to create our tripartite form of government with its checks and balances. It is a system that affords many opportunities for our government branches to work both individually and in partnership. As we move forward, and as the 2023 Law Day theme serves to remind us, some of our greatest accomplishments and successes in societal progress and reforms have been achieved through civil discourse and the collaboration of our three co-equal branches of government.
