Federal judges are amongst the most unaccountable government members, exempt from anti-discrimination laws they interpret, leaving law clerks without essential workplace protections.
The Judiciary Accountability Act (JAA) aims to extend anti-discrimination protections to over 30,000 federal judiciary employees, including law clerks and public defenders, thus correcting a long-standing injustice.
The federal judiciary is uniquely exempt from Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other vital protection laws, highlighting the urgent need for the Judiciary Accountability Act.
The JAA proposes essential measures such as standardized Employee Dispute Resolution (EDR) plans and confidential reporting channels to ensure safety and fairness for judiciary employees.
