US EditionJustice Department Curtails American Bar Association’s Role in Vetting Trump’s Judicial Nominees
- U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi officially notified the American Bar Association it will no longer access judicial nominees to rate their qualifications as of 2025.
- This action followed long-standing criticism that the ABA shows progressive bias in rating judicial nominees, ignoring calls from Congress and legal academics to reform.
- The DOJ letter revoked decades of special access the ABA had to nominee information, citing unfair favoritism toward Democratic appointees and aligning with previous breaks made under Republican administrations.
- During President Trump's first term, the ABA rated 187 of 264 nominees as well-qualified but gave 10 a not-qualified rating, while some GOP senators dismissed ABA ratings as politically motivated.
- This decision ends the ABA's unique role in judicial vetting and signals ongoing partisan disputes over the fairness of the judicial nomination process.
