Rule 21-200 Canon 2.

This rule sets out the basic job requirements for judges. When a judge is doing their work, they need to treat everyone fairly and not favor one side over the other. They can't let personal opinions, relationships, or bias affect how they handle a case.

The rule also says judges must be skilled and knowledgeable in their work. This means they need to understand the law well enough to do their job right and keep learning as laws change over time.

Finally, judges have to be diligent, which means they need to handle cases promptly and give them the attention they deserve. They shouldn't let cases sit unresolved for no good reason or rush through decisions without proper thought. Together, these three ideas (fairness, skill, and hard work) form the foundation of what people can expect from a judge handling their case.
