Retired judges warn that the rule of law is unraveling – AI image by WP.

In interviews, former state and federal judges warn that democracy’s guardrails may already be weakened as the rule of law begins to falter.
November 28, 2025 at 5:00 a.m. EST, Today at 5:00 a.m. EST, 11 min
When the White House blasted a federal judge as “partisan” for dismissing the criminal cases against former FBI director James B. Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James this week, it was an attack that has become common in President Donald Trump’s second term.
For many retired federal and state supreme court judges, it was another example of the president’s assault on the judiciary and further erosion of the rule of law.
In a dozen interviews with The Washington Post, former judges and one soon-to-be-retired judge described a judiciary under incredible strain and its integrity threatened by partisan attacks, antagonistic rhetoric from public officials and ambiguous decisions handed down by the nation’s highest court.
Many judges said the politicization of judges, the Supreme Court’s expanding use of emergency dockets and sustained criticism from the Trump administration have pushed the courts and democracyto a fragile tipping point — one where cooperation with rulings and adherence to the rule of law can no longer be assumed.
Follow Trump’s second term
“There’s not a person in our country that, whether they think about it or not, does not depend upon the ability of these fundamental rights and liberties to be protected in an action in court if there is someone who violates that,” said Paul Grimm, a retired judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
The consequences, judges warn, are already becoming visible in who’s willing to serve as a jurist, global shifts in judicial norms and the types of justice the U.S. system can still deliver.

Federal Judges, Warning of ‘Judicial Crisis,’ Fault Supreme Court’s Emergency Orders – The New York Times

Federal Judges, Warning of ‘Judicial Crisis,’ Fault Supreme Court’s Emergency Orders – The New York Times

More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.
At issue are the quick-turn orders the Supreme Court has issued dictating whether Trump administration policies should be left in place while they are litigated through the lower courts. That emergency docket, a growing part of the Supreme Court’s work in recent years, has taken on greater importance amid the flood of litigation challenging President Trump’s efforts to expand executive power.
While the orders are technically temporary, they have had broad practical effects, allowing the administration to deport tens of thousands of people, discharge transgender military service members, fire thousands of government workers and slash federal spending.
The striking and highly unusual critique of the nation’s highest court from lower court judges reveals the degree to which litigation over Mr. Trump’s agenda has created strains in the federal judicial system.
Sixty-five judges responded to a Times questionnaire sent to hundreds of federal judges across the country. Of those, 47 said the Supreme Court had been mishandling its emergency docket since Mr. Trump returned to office.
The judges responded to the questionnaire and spoke in interviews on the condition of anonymity so they could share their views candidly, as lower court judges are governed by a complex set of rules that include limitations on their public statements.
Of the judges who responded, 28 were nominated by Republican presidents, including 10 by Mr. Trump; 37 were nominated by Democrats. While those nominated by Democrats were more critical of the Supreme Court, judges nominated by presidents of both parties expressed concerns.

Federal judges are above the law in the workplace: How a “Glassdoor for Judges” will help – GovTrack.us
Analysis and Commentary
Federal judges are above the law in the workplace: How a “Glassdoor for Judges” will help
Sept. 16, 2025 · by Aliza Shatzman
This guest post is from Aliza Shatzman, who in her first job after law school working for a judge learned the reality of judges’ conduct behind closed doors. She launched a transparency and accountability platform for recent law school graduates to rate their bosses and also advocates for policy reform.
While judges, regardless of party, rule for democracy, behind the bench, judges’ conduct is lawless and ungoverned. Judges regularly engage in misconduct that would be illegal — except that judges are exempt from all federal anti-discrimination laws.
Disturbingly, 1,700 federal judges who rule on issues of national significance and determine litigants’ lives, livelihoods, and liberty, are themselves above the laws they interpret. And more than 30,000 judicial branch employees — including judicial law clerks, permanent court staff, and federal public defenders — lack workplace protections, due to a legal loophole creating judicial immunity.
I learned the implications of this firsthand when, while serving as a judicial law clerk six years ago, I was harassed and discriminated against, fired, and retaliated against by the judge I worked for. When I tried to hold him accountable for attempting to destroy my career and reputation, I discovered law clerks like me are exempt from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and all federal anti-discrimination laws. I could not sue my harasser and seek redress. I filed a complaint, but I did not realize the judge’s friends decided whether to discipline him, since judges “self-police” their colleagues (much like Congress).
Judicial clerkships are prestigious first legal jobs where recent law graduates spend a year or two working closely with and learning from judges — researching, writing, going to court, and assisting with judicial decision-making. Clerks gain valuable insight into judges’ thinking, a coveted credential and, if they’re lucky, a lifelong mentor. But law schools almost never discuss potential downsides of clerking — the small, isolated, hierarchical work environment that’s ripe for abuse; lack of workplace protections and oversight; enormous power disparity between judge and clerk; and judges’ far-reaching power over clerks’ careers. Young attorneys are blinded to the hazards inherent in these unregulated work environments.
Because law schools are obsessed with placing as many students as possible into prestigious clerkships, they’re loath to collect and disseminate negative information about judges, necessitating a third-party, independent platform to collect information from graduates and disseminate it to students.
In 2022 I testified in support of the Judiciary Accountability Act (JAA), which would finally extend anti-discrimination and whistleblower protections to the judiciary — protections extended to the other two branches of governmentin 1995.
Soon after, I launched The Legal Accountability Project (LAP), a court accountability and clerkship transparency nonprofit that’s leading the charge against harassment and workplace abuse in the courts.
A key aspect of LAP’s work is its award-winning, nationwide Clerkships Database (basically, “Glassdoor for Judges“), where clerks review their powerful, unaccountable bosses as managers — anonymously if they choose, to ensure candid responses. LAP’s Database — the largest independent repository of clerkship information in the U.S. — already contains nearly 2,000 candid reviews about approximately 1,200 federal and state judges, including information from every state, federal circuit, and most U.S. District Courts. It’s the only way for applicants to identify great bosses to apply to, and bad managers — or downright abusive judges — to avoid. LAP created accountability through transparency: there’s nothing imperious judges hate more than negative feedback they cannot see, dispute, or silence clerks from sharing through threats of retaliation.

Trump’s Complaint About One Judge Is An Attack On The Entire Judiciary

Trump’s Complaint About One Judge Is An Attack On The Entire Judiciary
The Constitution didn’t give the president the power to attack other branches of government. But that’s what Trump is doing.
Joyce Vance Jul 30, 2025Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance
Trump’s Complaint About One Judge Is An Attack On The Entire Judiciary
The Constitution didn’t give the president the power to attack other branches of government. But that’s what Trump is doing.
Joyce Vance Jul 30, 2025On July 21, the Washington Post ran a piece headlined, “Trump officials accused of defying 1 in 3 judges who ruled against him.” A comprehensive analysis of hundreds of lawsuits filed against the administration’s new policies revealed “dozens of examples of defiance, delay and dishonesty,” by the government in handling the cases. Plaintiffs in more than a third of the cases that had progressed far enough for a judge to issue some type of ruling ordering the government to do—or not do—something accused the government of “snubbing rulings, providing false information, failing to turn over evidence, quietly working around court orders and inventing pretexts to carry out actions that have been blocked.”
That data suggests there are real reasons for the courts to be concerned about whether the Trump administration is gearing up to actively flout the authority of the Article III branch of government in a direct and unequivocal fashion. So far, the government has offered attenuated excuses for its most flagrant abuses, transparently designed to give them lawful ground to stand on. But as whistleblower allegations emerged during the shameful proceedings that led, just yesterday, to the confirmation of former Trump criminal defense lawyer Emil Bove to be a Third Circuit Judge, it became increasingly clear that they were just that, excuses. Bove, multiple witnesses confirm, had gone so far as to suggest that the government’s response to any judicial checks on Donald Trump’s plans to deport people to foreign prisons or war-torn countries would be “F***” the courts.”
Given that predicate, it should come as no surprise that judges are actively concerned. When the Judicial Conference of the United States met recently, the issue surfaced. That resulted in the Justice Department filing a complaint against District Judge James “Jeb” Boasberg. There is no way to soft-pedal this. The Trump administration wants to go to war with the federal judiciary. They’ve been moving that direction ever since the start of this administration.
A little background about the Judicial Conference, where DOJ alleges Judge Boasberg made inappropriate comments, to set the stage here. The Judicial Conference is a body consisting of federal judges from across the country who work together to represent the entire judiciary. It is the national policy-making body for the federal courts. The Chief Justice of the United States is the presiding officer. The members of the Conference are the chief judge of each of the federal judicial circuits, the Chief Judge of the Court of International Trade, and a district judge from each circuit. The judges serve for terms of between three and seven years, depending on the position they hold. They meet privately to conducts the courts’ business.

Trump goes after Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society in fury over court ruling
Trump’s attack came after the U.S. Court of International Trade struck down his tariffs, a blow to the primary pillar of his economic agenda.
By Gregory Svirnovskiy and Josh Gerstein, 05/29/2025 10:13 PM EDT
President Donald Trump leveled unusually pointed criticism of a prominent conservative legal activist and organization Thursday as he railed against a ruling that struck down his sweeping tariffs.
The president, in a post on his social media platform, slammed Leonard Leo, the former chair of the Federalist Society, calling him a “sleazebag” who “probably hates America.
It was a striking characterization of Leo, who played a key role in working with Trump to shape the conservative Supreme Court.
“He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court — I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is!,” Trump wrote.
Trump’s attack came after the U.S. Court of International Trade on Wednesday struck down his tariffs, a massive blow to the primary pillar of the administration’s economic agenda. The ruling was temporarily stayed by an appellate court on Thursday. One of the judges on the three-person panel that blocked the tariffs is Timothy Reif, who was appointed by Trump in his first term.
The blame, Trump said, lay with the Federalist Society.
“I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations,” he wrote. “This is something that cannot be forgotten!”
Leo, in a brief statement in response, did not criticize the president.
“I’m very grateful for President Trump transforming the Federal Courts, and it was a privilege being involved,” Leo said. “There’s more work to be done, for sure, but the Federal Judiciary is better than it’s ever been in modern history, and that will be President Trump’s most important legacy.”
