Description: The California Supreme Court Committee on Judicial Ethics Opinions invites comment on two draft judicial ethics advisory opinions. One draft opinion answers questions posed to the committee about the disqualification requirements for judges who have received aggregated or law firm campaign contributions that exceed $1,500 (CJEO 2013-004). The second draft opinion discusses how judges can ensure that disclosures are made on the record when there is no court reporter or electronic recording of the proceedings (CJEO 2013-003). Both draft opinions provide guidance under the California Code of Judicial Ethics, which establishes standards for ethical conduct for state judges on and off the bench and for candidates for judicial office.
