many lectures in which I have talked about judicial ethics. In our country, we take for granted that we have the lowest amount of judicial corruption in the world. We don’t pay our judges enough. We pay our federal judges very little. We pay most of our state judges even less. Now, one could always point to a few corruption cases that have been prosecuted, but by and large, we are, in the world, the most respected judicial system. That is because, as a nation, we have insisted on that level of commitment to the rule of law.
