In the federal court system, law clerks find little recourse for bullying and abuse

"I don't take it lightly when I say the federal judiciary is the most dangerous white-collar workplace in America," Aliza Shatzman told NPR’s Carrie Johnson.

Aliza spoke with NPR as part of a nearly year-long investigation into harassment in the federal judiciary. They discussed pervasive abusive conduct, bullying, harassment, and retaliation within the federal courts; the lack of data collection; the judiciary’s broken, wholly internal complaint process; the lack of legal redress for mistreated clerks and its implications for clerks’ lives and careers; and The Legal Accountability Project’s independent, third-party solutions to finally solve historically intractable problems in the overly-secretive Third Branch.
