Bill Summary

RESOLUTION Strongly urging the supreme court of the united states to adopt a formal ethics code for the justices. .

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution strongly urges the Supreme Court of the United States to adopt a formal ethics code for its justices, similar to the existing code of conduct that applies to other federal judges. The resolution highlights the importance of transparency, openness, and trust in the judicial system, referencing a Supreme Court case that acknowledged the role of conduct codes in maintaining judicial integrity. It points out that while a code of conduct exists for various federal judges, the nine justices of the Supreme Court are not currently bound by such a formal set of ethical principles and guidelines, despite a recent request from legal ethics scholars for Chief Justice Roberts to draft one.
