ETHICS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
STATE OF WASHINGTON
OPINION NO. 88-3



QUESTION

     May a district court judge, who is running for a superior court
position, be pictured in campaign literature in a judicial robe if the
caption of the picture indicates that the judge is a district court judge?


ANSWER

     It is proper under CJC Canon 7(B)(1)(c) and (d) for a district court
judge, who is running for a superior court position, to be pictured in
campaign literature in a judicial robe as long as the caption of the
picture indicates that the judge is a district court judge, since this
disclosure of the district court position would prevent the material from
being misleading or from being misconstrued.
