Jill Langley, the former director of workplace relations for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, has been named the federal judiciary's first judicial integrity officer, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts announced Monday.

A longtime authority in employment dispute resolution, Langley will be tasked with establishing a new office that will serve as an independent source of information and referral for complaints regarding misconduct in the workplace, AOC director James C. Duff said in a statement.

The new Judicial Integrity Office will monitor recurring issues and provide training across the judiciary, while also serving as a resource for staff throughout the court system.
