The Supreme Court needs a code of ethics; The Hill, February 10, 2022

STEVEN LUBET, The Hill; The Supreme Court needs a code of ethics

"A Supreme Court ethics code could delineate the circumstances in which a justice may address an overtly political audience, as well as the appropriateness of making secret speeches at all. 

The specific provisions of a Supreme Court ethics code would be up to the justices, whose public approval has been plummeting in recent years. As my colleagues and I wrote in our open letter, “even if primarily aspirational [a code] would have a broad salutary impact, assisting current and future members of the Court to transparently address potential conflicts and other issues in a way that builds public trust in the institution.” Supreme Court ethics should not be a black box."
