In his Year-End Report, Chief Justice Roberts announced that the federal courts would be forming a working group on workplace conduct, a reaction to the recent scandal involving Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski as well as workplace harassment scandals in prominent industries nationwide. The membership of the working group has now been announced. It includes:
James Duff, Director, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts
Chief Judge Jeffrey Howard, First Circuit Court of Appeals
Judge M. Margaret McKeown, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
Chief Judge Julie A. Robinson, U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas
Judge Sarah S. Vance, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana
Margaret Weigand, Chief Executive, Third Circuit Court of Appeals
Jeffrey Minear, Counselor to the Chief Justice
John Cooke, Deputy Director of the Federal Judicial Center
The working group will eventually issue its findings in a written report.
