Justice Samuel Alito’s 2022 financial disclosure was released Thursday after he requested an extension on the initial filing deadline.
Alito’s disclosure comes after he, along with Justice Clarence Thomas, requested and was granted an extension on the deadline to file. The other seven justices’ financial disclosures were released in June.
In 2022, Alito made $9,000 from teaching at Regent University School of Law, $15,000 from teaching at Duke Law School and $5,250 from teaching at Duke’s Bolch Judicial Institute, according to the disclosure.
The disclosure also includes reimbursements for two trips, one in May to teach a class in Durham, North Carolina, where lodging and meals were covered by Duke Law School. The other was to the Religious Liberty Summit in Rome, Italy, where transportation, lodging and meals were covered by Notre Dame Law School.
The Judicial Conference of the United States updated its regulations in March to state that “transportation that substitutes for commercial transportation” is not included under the personal hospitality reporting exemption.

Thomas’ disclosure was also released Thursday, and Thomas reported several trips with his friend and billionaire Harlan Crow. (RELATED: ‘No Willful Ethics Violation’: Justice Thomas Files New Financial Disclosure, Releases Independent Legal Audit)
“After reviewing Justice Thomas’s records, I am confident there has been no willful ethics transgression, and any prior reporting errors were strictly inadvertent,” Berke Farah LLP managing partner Elliot Berke, who helped prepare the disclosure, wrote in its executive summary.
Thomas’ report includes additional information clarifying details updated from previous reports and refuting specific allegations of ethics violations. For instance, it provides further details on Crow’s 2014 purchase of Thomas’ mother’s home, the subject of an April ProPublica story.
