A pair of top House Democrats are urging the federal judiciary to adopt an inspector general to help address and mitigate issues within the court system.
In a letter sent to James Duff, the director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the House Oversight Committee requested information about several areas of the office they identified as problematic.
The Democrats cited concerns about the use of contractors by the federal judiciary's administrative arm, as well as the ongoing dispute over the use of PACER fees to cover costs in the office, among several topics they felt could be properly addressed by an inspector general.
