The Judiciary Is Still Unaccountable, And This Congress Won’t Fix It

LAP’s President and Founder, Aliza Shatzman, wrote for Above the Law reflecting on the four-year anniversary of her congressional testimony advocating for the passage of the Judicial Accountability Act, and the ongoing fight for judicial accountability. “As someone who identified an unmet need 4 years ago and filled the void myself, there’s no one more motivated to create meaningful change than someone working to fix systems that personally screwed them over,” wrote Shatzman.

On the anniversary of that testimony this month, Shatzman reflects on the systemic change The Legal Accountability Project has achieved despite headwinds from Congress and the courts, as well as the work that remains, including recommendations for how a future Congress could fulfill its oversight responsibilities over the judiciary.
