Investigating Sexual Harassment in the Federal Courts

An investigation has uncovered significant issues related to sexual harassment and bullying within the federal court system. Many employees reported feeling trapped in a culture where power dynamics leave little room for recourse against problematic behavior by judges. Despite the implementation of some policies in response to the Me Too movement, glaring flaws remain in how these cases are handled. The federal judiciary operates with some employees lacking protection under civil rights laws, making it particularly challenging for victims to seek justice when faced with harassment.
