Below are descriptions of the articles from the fall
2009 Judicial Conduct Reporter.
Disqualification and Friendships with Attorneys
by Cynthia Gray
Although a social acquaintance with an attorney does not raise
reasonable questions about a judge’s impartiality, a personal
relationship may be so close that the judge is required to disclose the
connection when that attorney appears in a case and, at some point, may
be so significant that the judge is required to disqualify. However,
defining the degree of friendship that triggers disqualification is
difficult given the spectrum of social associations.
Recommendation Letters in Adjudicative
Proceedings by Cynthia Gray
More than in other contexts, a letter of recommendation or other
communication from a judge on behalf of a person in an adjudicative
proceeding may be viewed as an implied request by the judge for
favorable treatment of the subject of the reference, an abuse of the
prestige of office.
Statutes of Limitations
Several states have statutes of limitations in judicial discipline
proceedings.
