Ethical Conduct in a Judicial Campaign: Is Campaigning an Ethical Activity?

Authors

J. Scott Gary

Abstract

The purpose of this comment is twofold. First, through a comprehensive survey of the codes that comprise the sources of legal ethics, the comment elucidates a body of ethical law governing the conduct of candidates in a judicial campaign. Second, after identifying the basic principle found to underlie these ethical codes, this comment argues that the scope of permissible judicial campaigning should be strictly confined.
