The U.S. Supreme Court is not only the highest court in the land, it’s also the only one without a formal binding code of judicial ethics. Justices routinely receive gifts, large book advances, lucrative speaking fees, lavish travel, and other perks, including from groups and individuals with an interest in the Court’s decisions.

In this insightful discussion, hear from experts on what, if anything, can be done to ensure transparency and accountability, and restore public trust in the judicial branch.
