Judges in Street Clothes: Acting Ethically Off-the-Bench (The Fairleigh Dickinson University Press Series in Law, Culture, and the Humanities)

Raymond J. McKoski

4.9/5 (24625 ratings)

Description:To maintain public confidence in the judiciary, judges are governed by the strictest of ethical codes. Codes of conduct not only circumscribe a judge's official conduct, but also restrict every aspect of a judge's off-bench life. Judges in Street Clothes provides an in depth analysis of the rules limiting the charitable, educational, religious, fraternal, civic, and law-related extrajudicial activities of state and federal judges. This comprehensive, heavily footnoted resource examines: (1) The historical development of the American Bar Association's four model judicial codes with an emphasis on the rules regulating the charitable, educational, religious, fraternal, civic, and law-related activities of judges. (2) The State's interests in restricting the extrajudicial activities of judges. (3) The strengths and weaknesses of rules governing a judge's off-bench activities. (4) How state and federal courts, judicial disciplinary commissions, and judicial ethics advisory committees have interpreted judicial conduct rules. (5) Best practices for judges. (6) The constitutionality of the restrictions on a judge's charitable, educational, religious, fraternal, civic, and law-related undertakings. From both a theoretical and practical standpoint, the text addresses the ethical implications of the everyday activities of judges. How far may a judge go in expressing personal opinions about social and legal issues? What are the limits on a judge's use of social media? Is it permissible for a judge to receive an award from a victim advocacy group? Do the rules permit a judge to speak at a church or bar association's fund-raising dinner? May judges teach prosecutors and law enforcement officials how to improve their job performance? May a judge appear in an informational video for the judge's alma mater? Former Judge McKoski discusses these and a host of other everyday situations facing judges in their attempt to remain involved community members while promoting public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
