Canon 2. A Judge Must Uphold the Public Trust
Rule Text
Judges, by virtue of their office, have been placed in a position of public trust. While judges should engage in public matters and serve their communities, they must govern their public and private behavior to ensure the greatest public confidence in the judge’s independence, impartiality, integrity, and competence.
