“The judge’s misconduct strikes at the heart of judicial integrity and destroys public confidence in an impartial, ethical court system,” @alizashatzman.bsky.social , who leads the Legal Accountability Project, which advocates for judicial law clerks, said.

The Justice Department asked a federal judge in Georgia who was reprimanded for misconduct to recuse herself from its lawsuit seeking voter rolls.

I guess it’s surprising I haven’t spent more time in Harrisburg, given where I live and what I do

Our special morning time

Second time at the Pennsylvania State Capitol - first was for Emerge candidate training graduation 🎓last year. Nice change of scenery! ✨

Judicial misconduct has far-reaching ripple effects. Reminds me of fmr judge Joshua Kindred’s resignation + subsequent revelations of conflicts of interest with the USAO. A ton of cases were reopened, creating resource allocation challenges +more chaos in our justice system.

This strikes at the heart of judicial integrity. It erodes public confidence in the courts when misconduct like Judge Eleanor Ross’s, is not taken seriously, says LAP’s @alizashatzman.bsky.social . youtube.com/shorts/261eQ...

So, “federal district court judge who was subject to a private reprimand for having sex with a police officer in chambers in earshot of law clerks” is a WILD thing to read.

Eleanor Ross is the federal district court judge who was subject to a private reprimand for having sex with a police officer in chambers in earshot of law clerks, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The bed is just a suggestion.

Absolutely egregious behavior by Judge Eleanor Ross. She should resign, or Congress should impeach her. I’d like to see Congress and the judiciary show some spine for once to protect law clerks, litigants, the public, and the integrity of the judiciary. @thelap.bsky.social

Look! My package arrived!

The judiciary’s private reprimand of a federal judge for having sex at the workplace and lying about it is raising questions about that penalty’s effectiveness.

I’ve got a new nickname—Big Z!

Lots of new @thelap.bsky.social Clerkships Database subscribers since yesterday! Maybe some applicants read abt the 11th Cir judge who was reprimanded for having sex w a law enforcement officer in earshot of clerks + lying to the Court abt it + might, you know, want to avoid that experience.

"Having an affair with someone in police leadership in your chambers" while blaming your law clerks when you get caught does not smack of someone with good judgment.

What in the world. I'm really slowing boiling into an angry kettle over here.

Why is this a private reprimand?

Hoping today is a writing day! ✍️ Perhaps a change of scenery after my head-clearing morning walk?

I see you have a banana. 🍌 I too would like a banana. 🍌

Fireable offense in most workplaces; casual slap on the wrist in the federal judiciary - where, I’ll remind you, judges adjudicate sexual harassment cases while themselves not subject to anti-harassment laws.

Judges should be held to the highest ethical standards. Yet right now, they’re held to none. Nothing more than a slap on the wrist for gross misconduct sends the message, yet again, that judges believe themselves to be above the law. And legally, right now, they are. @thelap.bsky.social

New: A national judicial panel has ​upheld a private reprimand of an unnamed federal district court judge in the South who engaged in an ‌extramarital affair with a high-ranking police officer and had sexual intercourse in the judge's chambers within earshot of staff. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
