Code of Judicial Conduct (various jurisdictions)

The Code of Judicial Conduct is a set of ethical standards and rules that guide judges to ensure fairness, integrity, and independence in their decision-making. These rules cover issues like avoiding conflicts of interest, maintaining impartiality, upholding honesty, and behaving respectfully both in and outside the courtroom. While specific provisions vary across jurisdictions, the core goal is to maintain public trust in the judiciary by promoting ethical conduct and accountability among judges.
