Proposed Code for Ohio Judges - Comments Due Oct. 17th

Marie Rehmar, Head of Reference Services, marie.rehmar@law.csuohio.edu | August 21, 2008 - 15:02

Have you ever noticed the listing of political party for a judicial candidate in the primary election ballot, and then not seen that information on campaign literature before the general election? Proposed changes to the Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct would allow party designation on campaign literature before the general election. See Gongwer Ohio Report, Vol. 77, No.155, Art. 2 (Aug. 12, 2008) The announcement on the Ohio Supreme Court website mentioned that the Proposed Code has already gone through a draft and public comment, and is now ready a second time, with comments due October 17, 2008. See the Proposed Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct (in both Word and pdf formats) with Appendix A correlating the Proposed Code to the Existing Code, and Appendix B, the Existing Code to the Proposed.

You may want to compare the current and proposed codes to the ABA February 2007 Model Code of Judicial Conduct. Also see the ABA Joint Commission to Evaluate the Model Rules of Judicial Conduct webpage; the current Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct and the ABA Judicial Ethics Resources page.

For additional ethics and professional responsibility information, see our Law Library’s Legal Ethics, Professionalism and Professional Responsibility Resources page.
