Description: The Supreme Court Advisory Committee on the Code of Judicial Ethics proposes amendments to canon 4C(3)(d)(i) and its commentary. These proposed amendments would allow a judge to solicit funds for an organization from retired judges who are not serving in the Temporary Assigned Judges Program, practicing law, or providing alternative dispute resolution services. Currently, a judge may solicit funds only from family members or “other judges,” but not from subordinate judicial officers, temporary judges, or any retired judges. After receiving and reviewing comments on this proposal, the committee will make recommendations to the Supreme Court regarding the proposed amendments.
