Judicial Conduct
Judicial conduct refers to the ethical and professional behavior expected of judges and other judicial officers. It encompasses the principles and standards that guide their actions, ensuring fairness, impartiality, and integrity in the legal system. Adhering to these standards helps maintain public confidence in the judiciary.
Judicial conduct is often governed by codes of conduct, which outline the responsibilities and limitations of judges. These codes address issues such as conflicts of interest, inappropriate behavior, and the importance of maintaining independence from outside influences. Violations can lead to disciplinary actions, including censure or removal from office.
