"Justice Barrett Advocates for Supreme Court Ethics Code"

Justice Amy Coney Barrett expressed support for the adoption of an ethics code for the Supreme Court during a conversation at the University of Minnesota Law School. She emphasized the need for greater public transparency and communication about the court's activities. Barrett joined other justices in backing the idea, following recent scrutiny over ethics practices, including failure to report gifts and luxury travel. However, she could not provide a timeline or specific details about the code. Demonstrators briefly interrupted the event, protesting Barrett's vote on abortion rights. Barrett also discussed the collegial atmosphere of the court and the challenges of balancing her personal and professional life.
