ABA REPORT

By Chris Jennison, Representative

The YLD also approved by consent a resolution saying that the U.S. Supreme Court should adopt a binding code of ethics for its justices that is akin to the code of conduct that the Judicial Conference of the United States adopted for other federal judges. The House of Delegates agreed and adopted the resolution. Resolution 400, which was submitted by the King County Bar Association in Seattle, also urges all other bar associations to pass their own resolutions calling for the Supreme Court to adopt a code of judicial ethics that is binding on its justices.

During the assembly we learned Maryland State Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section received a Star of the Quarter Award for the Mindfulness Event our Lawyer Wellness Committee recently organized.

The YLD Assembly will meet on August 4 and 5, 2023, in Denver, CO. If you’re interested in attending as a delegate and representing the MSBA, please email Chris Jennison at chris.s.jennison@gmail.com.
