“The judiciary is uniquely insulated from scrutiny, and uniquely unaccountable to the public.”

2 yrs ago today - 3/17/22 - my life changed forever.

I provided congressional testimony to the @HouseJudiciary sharing my terrible #clerkship experience... 🧵 Image ... in support of the #JudiciaryAccountabilityAct, legislation that would finally extend Title VII protections to 31,000+ federal #judiciary employees. 👇

📢 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'm doing a thing!

TOMORROW I will testify before the @councilofdc on behalf of The Legal Accountability Project at the JPS Hrg about urgently needed reforms to & oversight over the DC Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure (CJDT), the regulatory body for DC judges. Image I'll propose changes including: data collection and dissemination requirements; increased transparency in CJDT processes; clarification of rules and procedures; and membership and leadership changes that recognize the sensitivity of the issues the CJDT handles.

D.C. Courts law clerks should not be forced to suffer the consequences of institutional failures - a lack of accountability for judges who mistreat clerks & lack of transparency in D.C. Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure (CJDT) processes, I argue in @AdLawReview.👇 Image In the more than 50 years of the CJDT’s existence, according to data available on its website, it appears the CJDT has never disciplined a local judge for gender discrimination, harassment, or retaliation - a red flag 🚩 that judicial accountability mechanisms are broken.
