Haub Law Professor Bennett Gershman pens an op-ed in The New York Times about potential conflicts of a Supreme Court Justice’s spouse.
An ethics opinion by Bennett L. Gershman, a Pace University law professor and former Manhattan prosecutor, accompanied the letter and said “it is plausible that the Chief Justice’s spouse may have leveraged the ‘prestige of the judicial office’” to “raise their household income.” He added that those concerns, coupled with what he described as the chief justice’s lack of disclosure of potential conflicts, “threaten the public’s trust in the federal judiciary, and the Supreme Court itself.”

Anderson, Dean of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law. “The Center’s goals are to empower both Volunteers and visitors to understand and navigate issues and self-help resources, and to help visitors resolve issues before they turn into legal action.”

The roots of this focus, which fueled a career that spanned decades, can be traced to his childhood on a ranch in Nebraska. “There didn’t seem to be too much confusion about the fact that we’d take care of the land and use it and make a profit from it, but that we would always treat it with respect,” Nolon recalled.
