The American Judicature Society was established in 1913 and is funded in part by the Open Society Institute.^[1] With funding from OSI, the Society hopes to advance the cause for an "independent judiciary," which they deem "essential to the maintenance of public trust and confidence in the court system."

Its current President is Honorable John R. Tunheim, U.S. District Judge for the District of Minnesota. The Hon. Gordon L. Doerfer (Ret.) is President-Elect. Former Attorney General Janet Reno also serves on the board.
