The federal #judiciary’s workplace conduct policies + procedures are "a band-aid over a bullet hole," @AlizaShatzman told @NPR's @johnson_carrie. "That's not solving the problem." Check out this @MorningEdition_ piece abt judicial misconduct. 👇 npr.org/2024/04/30/124…
Judiciary attempts at self policing lead to a lack of policing - and a lack of #accountability for judges who mistreat clerks. Law clerks deserve better. Check out @johnson_carrie ‘s @NPR piece (and my take!) on problems + solutions in the Third Branch. #clerkships #courts 👇

“Most discipline issues of the judiciary are handled by the judiciary. It's common for judges to resign while they're under investigation, which generally stops the probe, and allows them to collect retirement benefits.”

However, there’s no substitute for congressional oversight, incl. the #judiciaryAccountabilityAct to extend Title VII to the federal #judiciary. Congress must rectify this injustice for 31,000+ fed. judiciary employees this year. #clerkships #courts #judicialaccountability
I'm proud of @The_LAP_'s work to shine a sustained public spotlight on workplace abuse in the #judiciary over the past few years. We've also implemented concrete solutions to increase #transparency, #accountability + #equity in #clerkships.
@johnson_carrie + I discussed gaping holes in processes that leave clerks vulnerable to mistreatment + empower abusive judges. I explained what needs to change to make the #judiciary a safe work environment. That starts w/ holding judges #accountable for their conduct.

It's been a tumultuous journey from WashU Law graduate to launching @The_LAP_. But few accomplishments are more gratifying than knowing aspiring clerks nationwide can log into LAP’s Database today to identify a beneficial #clerkship + avoid a horrendous experience like mine.
To quitting my job as a family law atty to launch @The_LAP_, To launching LAP's post-clerkship survey, To launching 🚀 LAP's Centralized Clerkships Database, April always brings challenges + victories.
