Campaigning - Lesson Preview
- A judicial candidate may doorbell and attend
public gatherings and ask people to vote for the judicial
candidate because those are different from soliciting public
statements of support.
- A candidate may personally call a newspaper
to set up a meeting with its editorial board and meet with
the editorial board on his or her own behalf or that of
another judicial candidate.
- CJC
Canon 7(B)(1)(c) provides in part that judicial candidates

or appear to commit the candidate with respect to cases,
controversies or issues that are likely to come before
the court.
