This article has been updated as more information became available. 

According to long-time conservative activists, journalists, and the Associated Press, the “secret” society for judges and lawyers is false. Social media users falsely claimed that Chief Roberts and other high-level legal professionals were part of a “secretive, invite only club.”

The outlet noted: 

But the group in question — the American Inns of Court — is hardly secretive given its large public presence, and there is no evidence that members are involved in nefarious activities targeting Trump. Roberts is no longer an active member and Boasberg is the president of a chapter that is no longer affiliated with the parent association.

Here's a closer look at the facts.

CLAIM: Roberts, Boasberg and other powerful legal professionals are part of a secret, invite-only club that is working against Trump.

THE FACTS: This is false. Roberts was a member of the Edward Coke Appellate Inn of Court chapter of the organization prior to his confirmation to the Supreme Court in 2005, but he is not currently an active member of the organization, according to Executive Director Malinda Dunn.

The Inns of Court has seen many current and former Supreme Court justices, including Sandra Day O'Connor, Neil Gorsuch, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Clarence Thomas.

The group began in the United Kingdom with the American wing of the group being founded in 1980. 

The website states that the goal of the group is to maintain and improve an ethical level of professionalism. According to its website, its mission is to “inspire the legal community to advance the rule of law by achieving the highest level of professionalism through example, education, and mentoring.”

————————————————————————-

It was previously reported that Chief Justice John Roberts was linked to an elitist circle of judges and lawyers, including figures like James Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Amit Mehta, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. However, this influential group has found themselves at the crosshairs of critical social media users, who argue that these legal elites, many with close ties to powerful political and legal establishments, were part of a secret society. 

A now-debunked report conducted by journalist Bad Kitty Unleashed, claimed that Roberts was involved with an invite-only club for elite, Trump-hating judges in Washington, DC. 

He explained that there are four historic Inns of Court in the UK, with one—Middle Temple—receiving significant funding from George Soros, where Chief Roberts serves as a master of the bench. The U.S. has modeled a similar institution in recent decades, with many of our judges affiliated with The Edward Bennett Williams (EBW) Inn of Court. He claimed that the group operates with a high level of secrecy, even going so far as to remove most references to it from their website despite continuing their meetings. However, its website often include details about the group’s programs which often focuse on networking, education, and mentorship.
