Abstract
The success of international courts, and our domestic courts, depends to a large extent upon the integrity and impartiality of those who decide the cases that come before them. For the institutional integrity of all courts, judicial ethics is of the utmost importance and vital for both the international and domestic courts. Most recently, the United States Supreme Court has come under fire because of the lack of ethical rules to guide or govern the justices’ behavior. The Supreme Court members are granted lifetime appointments, but are not subject to mandatory ethical rules. Alternatively, lower federal court judges do have strict ethical requirements. Thus, domestically, there is a yearning for ethical reform for the nation’s highest court.
