ABA President Mary Smith says the American Bar Association appreciates that the U.S. Supreme Court has adopted its first Code of Conduct, calling the action “a positive first step toward ethics transparency by the nation’s highest court.”
In her statement issued Monday, Smith noted that the ABA House of Delegates in February adopted a resolution urging the Supreme Court to adopt a binding code of judicial ethics that would be comparable to the Code of Conduct for United States Judges adopted by the Judicial Conference of the United States.
“While today’s code does not address the important issue of enforcement,” Smith said, “the ABA appreciates that Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. has directed a study of best practices for complying with the code.”
