The Supreme Court’s ethical lapses reached such heights that a fellow federal judge had to step in to publicly ask what’s wrong with these people. And it’s not just the big ticket scandals anymore, with the Court’s reputation so tarnished that folks freak out over non-scandals (or at the most minor ones) like Venmogate and Sonia’s Book Club. Meanwhile, more Biglaw firms opt for a 4-day mandatory office policy, though there’s still not a lot of momentum behind the move. And Judge Pauline Newman of the Federal Circuit continues to fight against her colleagues for her right to continue to hear cases.
