Judicial Ethics and the Role of Federal Judges in 21st Century America

Judicial Ethics and the Role of Federal Judges in 21st Century America

Federal judges aren’t considered to be classic examples of public figures. But they’re often called upon to make rulings that attract significant publicity in both the traditional press and on social media. With federal judges and their rulings receiving more scrutiny now than ever, questions arise about the role of federal judges in the public discourse.

On Thursday, May 11, 2023, at noon eastern, the South Florida Chapter of the Federal Bar Association will host a conversation between Judge Roy K. Altman and Judge Raag Singhal about judicial ethics and the role of federal judges in 21st Century America. During the conversation, the judges will talk about the differing views on how active federal judges should be in the public discourse and the ethical considerations involved in their interactions with private citizens.

We look forward to this conversation.
