A coalition of judicial advocacy and watchdog groups are calling on Congress to establish greater disclosure requirements for the spouses of federal judges
Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s husband Jesse Barrett opened a D.C. office for his boutique Indiana law firm not long after she joined the Court. The husband of the newest justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Patrick Jackson, consults for medical malpractice cases. The details of their clients remain largely unknown, even on annual disclosure reports required of the justices.
But Roth said disclosures could help encourage jurists to recuse themselves from cases that present an appearance of a conflict. The letter is addressed to the House and Senate Judiciary Committee chairs and ranking members; the chair and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary’s Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights; and the chair and ranking member of the House Judiciary’s Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet.
