The Supreme Court faced a significant challenge in the case Baker v. Coates, where author Ralph Baker claimed that Ta-Nehisi Coates plagiarized from his work. The situation was complicated by the court's ethical standards, resulting in multiple justices recusing themselves due to financial ties with publishers involved in the case. This highlights a gap in the Supreme Court's ethical guidelines, raising concerns about its ability to fairly adjudicate major copyright cases when conflicts of interest arise.
The Supreme Court's ethical code is not as robust as one would hope, leading to multiple justices recusing themselves from vital copyright cases due to conflicts of interest.
In Baker v. Coates, Ralph Baker accuses Ta-Nehisi Coates of plagiarism, but conflicts arise as justices involved have connections to the very publishers of the works in question.
