Despite the aftershocks of Politico obtaining and publishing a draft majority opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, monumental Supreme Court leaks have a history dating back centuries.Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law Professor Steven Lubet unpacks that tradition on the latest episode of Law&amp;Crime's podcast "Objections: with Adam Klasfeld" and explains why he believes the chief shares some responsibility for what he calls the Supreme Court's "accountability-free zone."The Supreme Court is the only one in the United States never to have adopted a code of conduct, and it has remained silent in the face of controversies involving justices, on the left and right.In the episode, Lubet traces the development of the first U.S. judicial code of ethics to former President and ex-Chief Justice William Howard Taft, and he explains efforts after Watergate to make those guidelines mandatory, rather than aspirational. He also unpacks ongoing efforts in Congress that would require the Supreme Court to develop an ethics code, create new mechanisms for recusal, and expand access to court proceedings through live-streams.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Scholar's View of Supreme Court Leaks—and Why Chief Justice Roberts Presides Over an 'Accountability-Free Zone' (Feat. Steven Lubet)

In this episode, Steven Lubet, Edna B. and Ednyfed H. Williams Memorial Professor of Law and Director of the Fred Bartlit Center for Trial Advocacy at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, discusses his book "Interrogating Ethnography: Why Evidence Matters," which is published by Oxford University Press. Lubet begins by describing ethnography and ethnographic research practices. He explains why he became concerned about the factual accuracy of some of the claims made by ethnographers, and how ethnographic research practices contributed to his concerns. He describes how he investigated claims made in a range of different ethnographic works, and uses evidentiary practices from litigation as a metaphor for how ethnographers could more effectively evaluate the factual accuracy of the evidence they gather. He points to several simple practices, like fact-checking witness accounts, that would increase accuracy. He closes by reflecting on the reception of his book by ethnographers. Lubet blogs at The Faculty Lounge and his scholarship is available on SSRN.This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
