Rule 21-201 Giving precedence to the duties of judicial office.

A judge's job comes first. When a judge has other interests or activities outside the courtroom, like hobbies, volunteer work, or personal commitments, none of these can get in the way of doing the job properly.

This means if a judge is asked to give a speech, join a board, or take part in some outside activity, they need to check whether it will interfere with their court work. If there's a conflict, the judicial duties win out every time. The point is to make sure judges stay focused on handling cases fairly and on time, and don't let outside distractions slow down or affect their work on the bench.
