"The judiciary is uniquely insulated from scrutiny, and uniquely unaccountable to the public. The Judiciary Accountability Act would extend Title VII protections to over 30,000 exempt judiciary employees."
"I was a family law attorney trying to regain my footing after I was harassed, fired, and retaliated against during and after my judicial clerkship."
"The Legal Accountability Project sparked a nationwide clerkship transparency and judicial accountability movement through innovative legal technology, legislative advocacy, and thought leadership."
"Our nationwide Clerkships Database, which celebrates its second birthday next month, has already served over 4,000 law students and recent graduates with candid clerkship information."
The Judiciary Accountability Act seeks to extend Title VII protections to over 30,000 judiciary employees, including law clerks and public defenders. The initiative arose from personal experiences of harassment and retaliation faced during a judicial clerkship. The Legal Accountability Project was launched to address injustices in clerkship hiring and judicial accountability. It has fostered a nationwide movement for transparency, exemplified by the Clerkships Database, which provides law students with anonymous reviews of judges, enhancing awareness and accountability in the judiciary.
