57 votes have been cast, butt the number of the day is 76.

That’s the number of occasions since 2021 that federal appeals court judges attended privately-funded seminars at luxury resorts, according to a new analysis from the nonprofit advocacy group Fix the Court. Thirty-one U.S. federal appeals court judges attended events that despite being billed as educational look more like paid vacations, Fix the Court said. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts had no immediate comment on the report. The group asked the U.S. judiciary’s policymaking body to look into the seminars and require judges to provide more financial information about the trips.
