The Code of Conduct for Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States was issued on November 13, 2023, to set "ethics rules and principles that guide the conduct" of the members of the Supreme Court. It is the first time in its history that the court has adopted a code of conduct.
The 14-page document defined five canons of conduct, discussing issues of receiving gifts, disqualification, and the participation of justices in outside activities such as speaking and teaching.[1] The code has received criticism for being relatively weak compared to the rest of the judicial, legislative and executive branches while lacking enforcement mechanisms.
