Below are descriptions of the articles from the spring
2010 Judicial Conduct Reporter.
Demeanor in Domestic Violence Cases by
Cynthia Gray
The conflict and intense emotions inherent in court proceedings
involving allegations of domestic violence can challenge a judge’s
ability to demonstrate judicial temperament and convey impartiality.
Numerous judicial discipline cases illustrate judicial actions that
create the appearance that a judge has prejudged the parties or does not
take domestic violence seriously.
Judges and Social Networks
In Florida Advisory Opinion 2009-20, the Florida judicial ethics
committee directed judges not to add lawyers who may appear before them
in court as “friends” on social networking sites or permit those lawyers
to add them as “friends.”
Judges as Board Members for Non-profit
Organizations that Provide Court-Ordered Services by Cynthia Gray
Most judicial ethics opinions that address the issue state that a judge
may not serve on the board of directors of a non-profit organization
that provides court-ordered services such as alternative sentencing or
counseling.
Recent Decisions
Appearance of quid pro quo in appointments
Using recusal as a tactic
Rejecting plea agreement
Inappropriate outbursts
