A recent report finds that the Supreme Court justices go out of their way to speak at state universities, not just the elite private schools they attended. State public records can help shine a light on these visits — and what they cost the public.
Chief Justice John Roberts prepares to speak at the University of Kentucky College of Law's judicial conference and speaker series in Lexington, Ky, on Feb. 1, 2017.Chief Justice John Roberts prepares to speak at the University of Kentucky College of Law's judicial conference and speaker series in Lexington, Ky, on Feb. 1, 2017.shows that Supreme Court justices get neither big bucks nor valuable gifts when they speak at public universities.
For the most part, the travel and lodging expenses are routine. The justices travel commercial. Occasionally, a university owns a private plane that it sends to transport a justice to a place that is not easily accessible from Washington, D.C. But these flights are rare. Justice Alito even declined one such offer.
Chief Justice Roberts took"a different, though well-worn tack" when he gave the Stein Lecture at the University of Minnesota Law School, Fix the Court reported. Roberts allowed his talk to be videotaped and made available online following the event. Sotomayor followed the same course when she delivered the Stein Lecture in 2016, as did Justice Elena Kagan in 2019.
Perhaps. But justices often want it made clear ahead of time that there are certain subjects that are out of bounds. The chambers of Justice Sotomayor, for instance, sent this message to the City University of New York staff in 2016, leaving nothing to chance: It has also promoted the idea of a formal code of ethics for the high court, as opposed to the code of conduct that exists for the lower courts, a code that Supreme Court justices voluntarily comply with for the most part.
