POGO - #ModelCode of #Conduct for U.S. #SupremeCourtJustices: "Of all the country’s state and federal courts, only the Supreme Court lacks a #codesofconduct. Instead, existing rules found in the U.S. Code provide standards concerning #financialdisclosures and #recusals. But this set of standards is limited. And compliance with them, along with all other decisions related to #ethical conduct, is left to each Justice’s discretion." https://www.pogo.org/report/2023/03/model-code-of-conduct-for-u-s-supreme-court-justices
