📢 TODAY I am thrilled to testify before the @councilofdc on behalf of The Legal Accountability Project at the JPS Cmte's Oversight Hrg about necessary reforms to & oversight over the DC Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure (CJDT), the regulatory body for DC judges. 👇 
I will briefly provide a window into the CJDT’s unnecessarily opaque and secretive processes, based on my experience filing a complaint and participating in the investigation into my former supervisor’s conduct throughout the summer and fall of 2021.
I will also propose changes that the @councilofdc can work w/ the CJDT to implement this year, including: data collection & dissemination requirements; increased transparency in CJDT processes; clarification of rules & procedures; and membership and leadership changes.
These changes will increase confidence in D.C.'s local court system, which is important not only for the law clerks and other judiciary employees who go to work in our courts every day, but also for the litigants and attorneys who appear before the court.
Advocating for reform is an important aspect of LAP's work. I appreciate this opportunity to advocate on behalf of the next gen. of law clerks. We owe it to future #clerks to ensure that their workplaces are safe. D.C. should set the standard for broader change. #accountability
