Click to open document 05/11/2016 ORDER-NO REQ SCHED (MISC) The above case has been submitted to the Court without oral argument.
Click to open document 07/07/2016 ORDER-CASE STYLE CHANGE The style of the above case has been changed from In re: Amendments to the Code of Judicial Conduct - Senior Judges Serving as Voluntary Trial Resolution Judges to In re: Amendments to the Code of Judicial Conduct - Senior Judges Serving as Voluntary Trial Resolution Judges and Arbitrators.
Click to open document 07/07/2016 DISP-AMENDED/ADOPTED FSC-OPINION: After considering the comments filed, we amend Canon 5F(2) of the Code to prohibit a senior judge from serving as a voluntary trial resolution judge or an arbitrator in any case in a circuit in which the judge is presiding as a senior judge. We agree with the ADR Section that the same ethical concerns that warranted prohibiting same-circuit dual service as a senior judge and a mediator and now warrants extending that prohibition to a senior judge who serves as a voluntary trial resolution judge, also warrants extending same-circuit dual-service prohibition to a senior judge who serves as an arbitrator. We also agree with the ADR Section that, like a senior judge who provides mediation services, a senior judge who offers voluntary trial resolution or arbitration services should be expressly prohibited from directly or indirectly promoting those services and from permitting an entity with which the senior judge associates to do so. Accordingly, we amend Canon 5F(2) and its commentary, as well as section B of the application section of the Code of Judicial Conduct as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring, and deletions are indicated by struck-through type. The amendments shall become effective October 1, 2016, at 12:01 a.m.
