Happy Friday, and welcome to another roundup of the week’s news about the judiciary. This week, we’re taking a look at a new paper by a University of Nevada law professor suggesting changes to rules regarding disclosure of lawyer relationships, following the resignation of a U.S. bankruptcy judge in Texas who failed to disclose that an attorney who appeared in cases before him was also his intimate, live-in partner. Plus, we’ve got a round-up of nominations news from this week.

As always, please reach out to me at [email protected] with any tips or feedback and follow me on X at @AvalonZoppo.
