“Even the federal judiciary's own climate survey revealed at least 106 law clerks were mistreated in 2023 — meaning as many as 106 judges committed actionable misconduct that year — yet just 3 clerks filed complaints in 2023.” @alizashatzman.bsky.social in GovTrack 👇 www.govtrack.us/posts/540/20...

@thelap.bsky.social created #accountability through #transparency: there's nothing imperious judges hate more than negative feedback they cannot see, dispute, or silence clerks from sharing through threats of retaliation. My latest in GovTrack.👇 www.govtrack.us/posts/540/20...

The federal courts have effectively chilled judicial misconduct complaints by making it nearly impossible for employees to safely file them: they boast about low complaint numbers while actively suppressing them, @alizashatzman.bsky.social in @abovethelaw.com . abovethelaw.com/2025/09/fede...

#LadyLawyerDiaries @alizashatzman.bsky.social is covering some great stuff these days that’s not getting a lot of attention with everything else going on. Her coverage of these issues deserves your read.

Refusing to implement workplace reforms is part of a concerted effort by the federal judiciary to maintain the broken status quo + shield abusive judges from accountability, I argue in @abovethelaw.com . WHY are judges STILL above the law? @thelap.bsky.social abovethelaw.com/2025/09/fede...

🍁Since it’s the unofficial end of summer, this marks the 4th school year running ⚖️ @thelap.bsky.social ! 🎉 ✨It’s been a wild ride🚂 - delivering tangible impact for tens of thousands of students 📚 + clerks, & achieving broad systemic change in the #legalindustry + #judiciary, + society generally. 💪

If you’re not following @alizashatzman.bsky.social you should be. #LadyLawyerDiaries

The federal judiciary cannot “self police” on workplace misconduct. There’s no reason 30K judiciary employees - incl permanent staff, public defenders, + law clerks - are exempt from TitleVII + all federal anti discrim laws. ‼️ Drumbeat for reform grows louder. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Happy National Nonprofit Day! 🎉

Happy National Nonprofit Day! 🎉

Federal judges are above the law, exempt from Title VII + all federal anti-discrimination laws, and *rarely* disciplined for misconduct, I argue in @abovethelaw.com. Congress must act. Members don’t have to wait until they’re in the majority + there’s a new president; those are just excuses.

‼️2 law clerks were reassigned through 2026 to address a “workplace conduct issue.” We cannot allow the judiciary to quietly reassign clerks year after year while failing to solve systemic issues that necessitate these reassignments, I argue in @abovethelaw.com . abovethelaw.com/2025/08/reas...

It’s not that all judges are bad—but the bad ones are shielded by colleagues from #accountability. In @abovethelaw.com , why students + clerks should participate in @thelap.bsky.social nationwide transparency effort. 👇 abovethelaw.com/2025/07/crea...

Congress has sounded alarm 🚨 bells about the Trump admin’s disregard for the rule of law while applauding the courts for upholding it. Yet the courts, too, flout the rule of law; we just hear less about it, @alizashatzman.bsky.social argues in @inquirer.com www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

‼️The entire federal judiciary is exempt from all federal anti discrimination laws. One brave public defender sued anyway. It’s outrageous that those tasked w defending others’ rights, lack rights themselves. Listen to Caryn Strickland’s appeal today @ 2pm.👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bIQ...

🔥This year, as judges review clerkship applicants, the reverse 🔄 happens too: judges are reviewed by their clerks in @thelap.bsky.social ‘s Clerkships Database, and applicants are reviewing judges as *potential bosses* and voting with their feet 🦶. My latest in @abovethelaw.com 👇
