Alaska Senators Condemn District Judge After Resignation
"While the Judicial Council did the right thing by calling for Alaska federal judge Joshua Kindred's resignation, more sweeping reforms and real accountability are still desperately needed,” Aliza Shatzman told Law360’s Courtney Buble.
This includes "extending federal anti-discrimination protections to more than 31,000 judiciary employees and taking the federal judicial complaint process out of the judiciary's chain of command," Shatzman said. "While the Ninth Circuit took these allegations seriously here, that's not been the case in every instance, nor in every circuit, when misconduct has occurred."
