STATE OF WASHINGTON
ETHICS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
OPINION NO. 91-9

Question
     If a judicial officer were not responsible for the sale of individual
tickets, would a judicial officer be allowed to serve as chair for a
fundraising event for a civic organization?

Answer
     CJC Canon 5(B)(2) prohibits a judicial officer from engaging in any
fundraising activities; therefore, it would not be proper for a judicial
officer to chair a fundraising event for a civic organization.
