Ukrainian-American federal judge Bohdan Futey advises Ukraine on legal reform

Bohdan Futey, the first federal judge of Ukrainian descent in the United States, has consistently advocated for judicial independence in Ukraine. For over three decades, Judge Futey has provided counsel to Ukraine on establishing its legal framework, including its Constitution, judicial reforms, and the rule of law. He stresses that a judiciary's independence is paramount, requiring distance from governmental authority and political influence. This engagement is highlighted as part of a series by Radio Svoboda, marking the 250th anniversary of US independence and recognizing Ukrainian-Americans who serve as a connection between the two nations.
