@GottaLaff The laws and codes of ethics related to judicial “educational” opportunities need to be rewritten. Failure to file any required forms should be subject to serious penalties—perhaps on the order of 5% of annual compensation. The submission date for the annual form should be moved up and no extension should be allowed—as a city employee in California, I was required to file a Form 700 financial disclosure when sworn in, when I retired, and every year by April 1; such disclosures are not nearly as difficult as an itemized income tax filing. (Disclosure is required of any employee or contractor who may even influence a decision.) The Clerk of the Court or other responsible officer should be subject to discipline up to dismissal for failing to get reports online by the deadline. I hope that there are many public interest attorneys making plans to have bad decisions set aside because this information was not available when they needed it.
