Federal Courts, Co-Sponsored by Employment Discrimination Law

Go Back

Over the last two years, there have been several high profile allegations of sexual harassment by federal judges. In response, the judiciary made some reforms, including clarifying that clerks have the option to anonymously report workplace misconduct to the court where they work. Recent allegations have raised questions about whether these reforms are sufficient to address and respond to workplace misconduct in the courts. As a result, there have been calls to extend Title VII to the federal courts, among other reforms. This panel will discuss possible reforms that would address and prevent workplace misconduct.
