Jane Roberts—wife of Chief Justice John Roberts—made over $10 million in commission as a legal recruiter for the nation’s top law firms, according to a whistleblower complaint covered by Insider. “When I found out that the spouse of the chief justice was soliciting business from law firms, I knew immediately that it was wrong,” Kendal Price, who filed the complaint and once worked alongside Jane Roberts, told Insider.
