Code of Civil Procedure.
(2) A judge shall be faithful to the law* regardless of partisan interests,
public clamor, or fear of criticism, and shall maintain professional
competence in the law.*
(3) A judge shall require* order and decorum in proceedings before
the judge.
(4) A judge shall be patient, dignified, and courteous to litigants,
jurors, witnesses, lawyers, and others with whom the judge deals in an official
capacity, and shall require* similar conduct of lawyers and of all court staff
and personnel* under the judge's direction and control.
(5) A judge shall perform judicial duties without bias or prejudice. A
judge shall not, in the performance of judicial duties, engage in speech,
gestures, or other conduct that would reasonably be perceived as (1) bias or
prejudice, including but not limited to bias or prejudice based upon race, sex,
religion, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic
status, or (2) sexual harassment.
(Canon 3B (5) amended effective December 22, 2003.)
(6) A judge shall require* lawyers in proceedings before the judge to
refrain from manifesting, by words or conduct, bias or prejudice based upon
11

(9) A judge shall not make any public comment about a pending or
impending proceeding in any court, and shall not make any nonpublic
comment that might substantially interfere with a fair trial or hearing. The
judge shall require* similar abstention on the part of court personnel*
subject to the judge's direction and control. This Canon does not prohibit
judges from making statements in the course of their official duties or from
explaining for public information the procedures of the court, and does not
apply to proceedings in which the judge is a litigant in a personal capacity.
Other than cases in which the judge has personally participated, this Canon
does not prohibit judges from discussing in legal education programs and
materials, cases and issues pending in appellate courts. This educational
exemption does not apply to cases over which the judge has presided or to
comments or discussions that might interfere with a fair hearing of the case.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENTARY
The requirement that judges abstain from public comment regarding a
pending or impending proceeding continues during any appellate process and
until final disposition. This Canon does not prohibit a judge from commenting on
proceedings in which the judge is a litigant in a personal capacity, but in cases
such as a writ of mandamus where the judge is a litigant in an official capacity,
the judge must not comment publicly.
(10) A judge shall not commend or criticize jurors for their verdict
other than in a court order or opinion in a proceeding, but may express
appreciation to jurors for their service to the judicial system and the
community.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENTARY
Commending
or criticizing jurors for their verdict may imply a judicial
expectation in future cases and may impair a juror's ability to be fair and
impartial in a subsequent case.
(11) A judge shall not disclose or use, for any purpose unrelated to
judicial duties, nonpublic information* acquired in a judicial capacity.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENTARY
This Canon makes it clear that judges cannot make use of information from
affidavits, jury results, or court rulings, before they become public information, in
order to gain a personal advantage.
