In December 2018, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts named Jill Langley as its first Judicial Integrity Officer. Her role is very similar to that of an Ombuds: Langley will provide confidential, neutral, and informal assistance to judiciary employees, judges, and high-level officials on workplace conduct matters throughout the federal court system. She will advise on conflict resolution and mediation services, including formal complaint processes, but not replace those options. Langley was, most recently, Director of Workplace Relations for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Denver. It does not appear that she has any Ombuds training or affiliation.
