Judicial conduct refers to the behavior and actions of judges while performing their duties in the legal system. It encompasses the principles of integrity, impartiality, and professionalism that judges must uphold to maintain public trust in the judiciary. Adhering to these standards ensures that judges make fair decisions based on the law, without personal bias or outside influence. To promote ethical behavior, many jurisdictions have established codes of conduct for judges. These codes outline expectations regarding conflicts of interest, confidentiality, and appropriate interactions with the public and legal professionals. Violations of these standards can lead to disciplinary actions, including censure or removal from the bench.
