How #Scalia #LawSchool Became a Key Friend of the #SCOTUS #GeorgeMason Uni law school cultivated ties to justices w generous pay, unusual perks. In turn it gained prestige donations #influence. docs show how Scalia Law has offered justices safe space in polarized DC academic cocoon filled w friends and former clerks, where their legal views are celebrated, they are given top pay and treated to teaching trips abroad, and their personal needs are anticipated. #Corruption https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/30/us/supreme-court-scalia-law-school.html

Dismaying but not surprising--George Mason Law (renamed Antonin Scalia Law) built connections to Justices that gave litigants access. School provided Justices with luxury vacations "with a little teaching thrown in," urged them to take vacations at the ranches of litigants & allowed professors to file amicus briefs to SCOTUS as Justices were co-teaching with them. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/30/us/supreme-court-scalia-law-school.html #LawFedi #GeorgeMason #SCOTUS #LegalEthics
