The American Bar Association (ABA) is opposing the Trump administration’s initiative to exclude them from the process of assessing the president’s federal judicial nominees, a role they have played for over 70 years.

In a detailed seven-page letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, ABA President William R. Bay expressed the organization’s shock and disappointment with the Justice Department’s move to restrict the ABA Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary from evaluating nominees. He stressed that this change would lead to “less transparency” in the process of confirming individuals to permanent positions.

“It is deeply disturbing that the Justice Department has decided to restrict access to judicial nominees without justification or basis,” the letter states. “The Standing Committee’s impartial peer evaluations are unique and have consistently provided a significant source of information considered by senators from both parties that is not otherwise available during the confirmation process.”

The Standing Committee is a 15-person panel that evaluates the professional qualifications for nominees to U.S. District Courts, circuit courts, the Court of International Trade, and the Supreme Court. The committee’s stated goal is to “support and encourage the selection of the best-qualified persons for the federal judiciary.” Each member is appointed by the ABA president and serve terms of three years.
