About
Gabe Roth is the founder and executive director of Fix the Court, a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2014 to advocate for greater transparency, accountability, and ethical reforms in the federal judiciary, with a primary focus on the U.S. Supreme Court. The group promotes non-ideological reforms such as broadcasting oral arguments, implementing term limits for justices, strengthening ethics and recusal rules, enhancing financial disclosures, and requiring notifications of public appearances. Roth has led efforts including filing judicial misconduct complaints, such as one in 2023 against Third Circuit Judge Emil Bove for attending a Trump rally, and has testified before Congress and appeared on C-SPAN discussing Supreme Court ethics and reform proposals. Previously, he managed the Coalition for Court Transparency, pushing for Supreme Court broadcasts, and worked in political consulting and communications for firms including Glover Park Group, Rubenstein, and SKDKnickerbocker, serving clients like the Obama Foundation and groups associated with Arabella Advisors. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Roth began his career as a television producer at an NBC affiliate in Jacksonville, Florida. He holds a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis (2000-2004) and a master's degree in journalism from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism (2005-2006). Some sources describe him as a left-of-center judicial policy activist. Roth resides in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and infant daughter. Fix the Court collaborates across the political spectrum, including with Republicans, Democrats, and libertarians.
