Federal #judges move to oust #Trump stooge #LindseyHalligan as #USattorney
Her appointment was ruled #unlawful, but she has refused to step down.
In a pair of extraordinary moves, 2 federal judges issued #CourtOrders Tues saying they intend to remove Halligan from the helm of a key US attorney’s office in Virginia & threatening #disciplinary #sanctions for any govt #lawyer who continues to refer to her as US attorney in #legal filings.

In case you are wondering, the #Trump admin has missed today’s deadline to report to Judge #Xinis on what steps they’re taking to facilitate the return of #KilmarAbregoGarcia.
Can’t imagine why? /s

Ummm #Trump in the Oval Office just now said
“Judges want to try to stop us” & “maybe we have to look at the judges” then “I’ll ask #ElonMusk to say a few words”
#Musk proceeded to talk for 25+ minutes [FYI he’s still talking]
Who is president??

Chemerinsky: Time Is Running Out for John Roberts and the Supreme Court
"In light of the Supreme Court’s unwillingness to adopt an ethics code for itself, Congress must step in and pass a statute imposing standards. All other judges in the country — state and federal — are bound by ethical rules. It is inexcusable that the most important and powerful judges are not."
Listen to the new episode of More Just: Tracking the Diversity of Federal Judicial Clerks
For recent law school graduates, clerking for a federal judge can be a key career stepping stone, and the hiring process is both highly opaque and famously nerve-wracking. Even as law school cohorts have become more diverse, the clerkship ranks have remained heavily skewed toward white men, particularly from a handful of top-ranked law schools.
Leaders from Berkeley Law’s Berkeley Judicial Institute wanted to know why. So they asked 50 federal judges how and why they hire particular clerks in the first qualitative study of the issue. These conversations yielded a number of insights for law students, law schools, and other judges, from how much an aspiring clerk’s cover letter matters to the fact that “diversity” doesn’t mean the same thing to every judge.

Berkeley Judicial Institute series aims to improve communication between media and the courts
“The work of the press, like that of the courts, is vital to a thriving democracy,” says Jeremy Fogel, a former federal judge who’s the executive director of the Berkeley Judicial Institute (BJI). “We encourage both institutions to explore new ways to make their relationship mutually productive.”
All three “Judges and the Press” sessions are free and open to anyone, with a target audience of judges, court administrators, and journalists.
