Mission
FIX THE COURT IS A NONPARTISAN, 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION THAT EDUCATES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT, AND ADVOCATES FOR, NON-IDEOLOGICAL "FIXES" THAT WOULD MAKE THE FEDERAL COURTS, AND PRIMARILY THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, MORE MODERN, MORE OPEN, AND MORE ACCOUNTABLE. IT DOES THIS BY RESEARCHING THE ETHICAL LAPSES OF JUDGES AND JUSTICES AND BY EDUCATING THE PRESS AND PUBLIC ABOUT WHY REFORM IS NEEDED.
Program accomplishments
- EDUCATION: FIX THE COURT EDUCATED THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC ON THE WAYS IN WHICH THE U.S. SUPREME COURT AND THE REST OF THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY HAS CHOSEN TO EXEMPT ITSELF FROM BEST PRACTICES IN MODERN JUDICIAL ETHICS AND UNCOVERED NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF TIMES WHEN SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND LOWER COURT JUDGES HAVE FAILED TO LIVE UP TO THEIR RESPECTIVE ETHICS CODES, FROM MISSED RECUSALS TO UNTOWARD GIFTS. THE ORGANIZATION PUBLICIZED THE INS AND OUTS OF THE BROADCAST POLICIES IN FEDERAL COURTROOMS AROUND THE COUNTRY, WITH OUR REQUESTS FOR LIVESTREAMING OFTEN PUSHING THE COURTS TO EXPAND ACCESS. FIX THE COURT LOCATED AND PUBLISHED THE AUDIO FILES OF THE SUPREME COURT'S OPINION ANNOUNCEMENT SUMMARIES FROM THE OT24 TERM, WHICH HAD NOT BEEN PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE BEFORE WE FOUND AND RELEASED THEM, AND ADVOCATED FOR MORE LEEWAY WITHIN JUDICIAL ETHICS RULES FOR JUDGES TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE RISING THREATS LEVELED AGAINST THEM. THE COURT'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WAS QUOTED OR CITED IN MORE THAN 300 NEWS STORIES LAST YEAR, ON TOPICS RANGING FROM THE JUSTICES' OUT-OF-COURT EVENTS TO THEIR FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE PRACTICES TO THE NEED TO INCREASE SECURITY SPENDING BRANCHWIDE.Expenses $126,514
- RESEARCH: FIX THE COURT CONDUCTED RESEARCH INTO SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND LOWER COURT FEDERAL JUDGES' TRAVEL, FINANCES, FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, AND OUT-OF-COURT SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT TO WHICH THESE ACTIVITIES COULD AFFECT THEIR COMPLIANCE OR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH JUDICIAL ETHICS CODES. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON THE PHENOMENON WHERE FEDERAL JUDGES ARE NOT RECUSING IN SOME CASES INVOLVING THEIR OUTSIDE EMPLOYER, TYPICALLY A LOCAL LAW SCHOOL WHERE THEY SERVE AS AN ADJUNCT. THE ORGANIZATION LOCATED AND REVIEWED THE FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES OF THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES, LOWER FEDERAL JUDGES, AND STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND REVIEWED THEM ACROSS VARIOUS ACCOUNTABILITY METRICS, WHILE ENSURING THAT NO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, WHICH COULD LEAD TO THREATS OR WORSE, WAS INCLUDED. WE RESEARCHED THE JUSTICES' FINANCIAL HOLDINGS IN LIGHT OF A NEW RULE AT THE SUPREME COURT REQUIRING PARTIES THAT ARE PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANIES OR THEIR SUBSIDIARIES TO LIST THEIR TICKER SYMBOL IN THEIR FILINGS.Expenses $84,480
