Justices Spurn Warren Bid for Off-Bench Code
Supreme Court justices rejected Chief Justice Earl Warren’s bid to impose immediate off bench ethics rules. They postponed action until October, when a new chief justice will lead the court. Warren issued a 13 page statement detailing his efforts and reported last Friday’s conference. The rules, issued June 10 by the Judicial Conference, bar outside fees for all federal judges except the Supreme Court, and require all non Supreme Court justices to file annual asset reports next year. Warren formed a judicial committee on May 16 following Justice Abe Fortas’s resignation over a $20,000 fee consideration. He aimed to see the code fast before his term ends.
