Plain-English Summary
Federal judges and court employees would be banned from making official decisions that could benefit their own personal finances, such as ruling on cases involving companies where they own stock or have other financial stakes. The law would close potential conflicts of interest where someone in the judicial system could profit from their own decisions. This applies to all officers and employees working in federal courts across the country.
