Roberts Sends Senior Federal Judge's Fitness Probe to 11th Circuit
Original: Chief Justice Roberts moves oldest active federal judge's fitness investigation to 11th Circuit
Chief Justice John Roberts has transferred the judicial fitness investigation of the oldest active federal judge to the 11th Circuit, under the judicial misconduct review process. The move means the circuit's judges will now handle questions about whether the longtime jurist can still perform her duties. The case is drawing attention because it touches on aging, judicial accountability, and how the federal courts police their own.
Why now: Roberts' reassignment of a sensitive fitness inquiry involving the nation's oldest active federal judge raises questions about judicial accountability and aging on the bench.
