Judiciary employees have informal and formal options to correct and remedy such wrongful conduct, or violations of other employment rights, under their court’s EDR Plan. The Middle District of Pennsylvania’s Federal Public Defender Office has adopted its own plan based on the 2021 Model Federal Public Defender Office (“FPDO”) EDR Plan. Judiciary employees are also encouraged to report such wrongful conduct – whether they are subjected to it or observe it – as soon as possible to whomever they are most comfortable: their supervisor or unit executive; their local Employment Dispute Resolution (EDR) Coordinator or Circuit Director of Workplace Relations (“DWR”); the National Judicial Integrity Officer at the AO; or any judge. Employees may confidentially report workplace harassment or abusive behavior to any of these individuals, and can also report such behavior anonymously through the Judicial Integrity Officer, by calling 202-502-1603.
