Federal law court clerks grapple with bullying and abuse - an NPR investigation

In the federal court system, law clerks find little recourse for bullying and abuse
An NPR investigation finds federal judges have enormous influence with few checks on their power. Law clerks and other judicial employees are vulnerable to mistreatment and have few job protections.
www.npr.org
"I don't take it lightly when I say the federal judiciary is the most dangerous white-collar workplace in America," LAP’s @alizashatzman.bsky.social told @npr.org @carriejohnson.bsky.social for this piece.
The judiciary doesn’t take harassment/bullying seriously.
Fortunately, LAP is on the case.

“I can’t think of a more important time to have a fully functioning seven-person Supreme Court than now, heading into the 2026 midterms,” LAP’s President + Founder @alizashatzman.bsky.social told @boltsmag.org @burness.bsky.social about the significance of PA’s Supreme Court retention victories.
As of last October, total spending in last week’s Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention election had topped $14 million, making it one of the nation’s most expensive retention elections ever.
Democrats Retain Control of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court with Three-Seat Sweep
The GOP mounted an unusual push to oust three supreme court justices and erase Democrats’ majority on the court. All three prevailed easily in Tuesday’s retention elections.
