April 30, 2025
Third-year law student Marco Alarid White recently published an article coauthored by Donald K. Sherman, Executive Director and Chief Counsel for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and Virginia Canter, Chief Counsel for Ethics and Anticorruption at State Democracy Defenders Action. The article, entitled “The Law of Disqualification and Problems with the Supreme Court Code of Conduct,” was released by the Fordham Voting Rights and Democracy Forum. It discusses ethical boundaries in the Supreme Court and is one of the first articles that has been published since the Court issued its Code of Conduct. The article explores the history of the federal disqualification statute that applies to federal judges, magistrates, and Justices of the Supreme Court. The authors examine the framework that created the current standards of judicial disqualification for all Article III judges and Justices and proposes legislative actions to clarify the law of disqualification in the face of obscuring provisions in the Code of Conduct.
