Should Judge Ginger Berrigan Be Censured?
Adjudicating a lawsuit against Tulane while preparing to teach a course in Greece for which she was paid $5,500 by Tulane may make Judge Berrigan a candidate for judicial discipline.
Judicial Conflict of Interest
Adjunct professorships, board memberships, paid travel to resort locations, and scholarships to their families create a blatant conflict of interest for judges who preside over Tulane cases.
Schwarz v. Tulane
Letters to the Editor, published in a New Orleans area newspaper, demonstrating how four judges with ties to Tulane ruled against a Jewish faculty member who brought charges of discrimination against the university.
A Legacy of Betrayal
How Tulane engaged in subornation of perjury to obtain false testimony from a witness.

Recognition of Judicial Error
A judge's disclosure of his Tulane University affiliation suggests the recognition of judicial error in Bernofsky's lawsuits, where disclosure was withheld.
Toward Indicting a Judge
An indictment for criminal judicial misconduct is pursued by means of a petition for a writ of mandamus.
