But she also said the justices already agree they should hold themselves to the highest ethical standards possible.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett spoke on Supreme Court ethics as part of the Stein Lecture Series at the University of Minnesota Law School on Monday. | Richard Tsong-Taatarii/Star Tribune via APMINNEAPOLIS — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett said Monday that it would be a good idea for the nation’s highest court to adopt a formal code of conduct, but she said the nine justices already agree that they should hold themselves to the highest ethical standards possible.
Barrett went further than she did in August when she told a judicial conference in Wisconsin that she welcomed public scrutiny of the high court, but stopped short of commenting on whether she thinks the court should change how it operates in the face of growing ethics concerns. She did not offer any opinion nor did she speak directly about calls for the justices to adopt an official code of conduct.
“I think that’s something that I can’t really speak for the court about or make any sort of guess,” she said.
