The American Bar Association today filed an amicus curiae brief urging the Supreme Court of the United States to grant review in the case of Caperton v. Massey, to address whether and when the due process clause of the Constitution of the United States requires judges to recuse themselves, or withdraw, from ruling in cases in which they have accepted campaign contributions from parties to a case.  Access the brief at http://www.abanet.org/judind/pdf/caperton_brief.pdf.  If you have questions, contact Nancy Cowger Slonim at 312/988-6132, or slonimn@staff.abanet.org.
