In today’s issue of The National Law Journal: An article headlined “Judges warned about seminars; Departing judge notes expense-paid functions will sour Congress more” begins, “The chief judge of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Joel Flaum, warned a conference of judges and lawyers last week that attending private expense-paid seminars, lax judicial discipline and flawed financial reporting by judges will only aggravate already testy relations with Congress.” The article goes on to note that “Flaum issued the sober warning during his farewell address to the annual judicial conference. He steps down after six years as chief judge on Nov. 26 when he turns 70 years old. Flaum will be succeeded by Judge Frank Easterbrook, appointed to the court in 1985 by President Ronald Reagan.”
