Supreme Court Ethics and Investigations Act

Bill 118 s 5395, also known as the "Office of Ethics Counsel and Office of Investigative Counsel Establishment Act," aims to make changes to title 28 of the United States Code by creating two new offices within the Supreme Court of the United States.

The first office, the Office of Ethics Counsel, would be responsible for providing ethical guidance to Supreme Court justices and employees. This office would help ensure that all members of the Supreme Court are following ethical guidelines and standards in their conduct and decision-making processes.

The second office, the Office of Investigative Counsel, would be tasked with conducting investigations into allegations of misconduct or ethical violations by Supreme Court justices and employees. This office would help maintain accountability and transparency within the Supreme Court by investigating any potential wrongdoing and taking appropriate action as needed. Overall, this bill seeks to enhance the ethical standards and accountability within the Supreme Court by establishing these two new offices. It aims to ensure that all members of the Supreme Court are held to the highest ethical standards and that any allegations of misconduct are thoroughly investigated and addressed.
