On June 3, 2015, Transparency Caucus co-chairs Reps. Mike Quigley and Darrell Issa held a briefing on Supreme Court justices’ disclosure of their financial interests. Currently, SCOTUS is left to regulate itself. Unsurprisingly, that’s a bad model for encouraging ethical behavior. Panelists discussed the importance of justices making full disclosures of their financial interests publicly available online so that the public can act as a watchdog of the high court.

The Transparency Caucus has a recap here.

Panelists included:

-Noah Bookbinder, Executive Director, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)

-Sheila Krumholz, Executive Director, Center for Responsive Politics

-Katie Townsend, Litigation Director, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press

-Kytja Weir, Project Manager and Reporter, Center for Public Integrity

-Katharine Huffman, Principal, Raben Group
