Judicial Ethics | Welcome | Law Related Activities | Part Three - Fundraising

 

 

Yes.

CJC Canon 4(A) provides that judges may participate in activities concerning the law, the legal system and the administration of justice. The judiciary may purchase time on TV or radio to educate the public about the judiciary. It may also accept donated newspaper space.

The judge may not personally negotiate with broadcasters or other media to obtain donated time or space or to secure a reduction in the cost for public education presentations. An employee of the court may negotiate on the court’s behalf.
