1/NEW: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s husband, Dr. Patrick Jackson, has been nominated to DC Judicial Disabilities and Tenure Commission, w/ power to suspend, retire or remove judges in DC Court system & provide oversight of judges whose opinions may come before his spouse.
2/Dr. Jackson has provided expert testimony for clients in litigation, perhaps in DC Court system, but he failed to mention this work in hearing with DC Council when asked if he would have any conflict of interest. He only disclosed he was a Dr. at Georgetown Univ. Hospital.
3/ Justice Jackson reported that her husband received “expert witness fees” on her most recent disclosure form. Previously, she reported on 2022 form that he received fees for “consulting on medical malpractice cases” but failed to specify which years, as required by law.
4/But nowhere on Dr. Jackson’s 15-page CV he submitted to @ChmnMendelson does he mention he’s been paid to provide expert witness testimony or consulting on malpractice cases. Why didn’t he disclose esp. regarding Q on potential conflicts of interest? ...
