                        OPINION 00-10
                              
                              
Question
     May a candidate for judicial office attend an event
sponsored by the candidate’s campaign where there has been a
request for each person attending to pay an amount to
reimburse for the expense of putting on the event?


Answer
     CJC Canon 7(B)(2) provides that candidates for judicial
office shall not personally solicit or accept campaign
contributions.  A candidate may, however, attend an event
which is put on by the candidate’s campaign where attendees
are asked only to pay to defray the cost of putting on the
event.
