Establishing Ethics and Investigation Offices for U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
This law establishes two new, independent offices within the Supreme Court to enhance transparency and accountability for justices. Citizens benefit from increased oversight, ensuring judges and their families receive regular ethics training and face independent investigation for potential misconduct. The new Investigative Office will have subpoena power, and investigation findings may be publicly released, strengthening public trust in the judiciary.
