_{* In accordance with the Committee on Judicial Ethics (CJE) Opinion No. 2014-4, “Serving on Statutory Commissions”, dated December 10, 2014, Judges are not permitted to serve on the State Fatality Review team despite being named in statute: “The Code also does not permit you to serve on the domestic violence state review team, St. 2014, c. 260, § 4, because its clear focus and unbalanced make-up could convey the impression that domestic violence victims have a special position of influence with the judiciary and that the judiciary is aligned with the interests of law enforcement and the prosecution. You may, however, consult with the Juvenile Life Sentence Commission and the domestic violence state review team pursuant to Section 4C(1) on discrete matters that concern the business of the courts as long as you make your limited participation clear in the reports and any records these commissions produce. Additionally, the Code does not prohibit you from appointing non-judge employees of the judiciary to serve on any of these commissions as your designees. Those designees cannot have more powers than you. Although the Committee cannot render advice to non-judges, the Committee instructs you to inform your designees that the Code’s limitations on your participation also apply to the designees and that these limitations should be clearly disclosed on all documents that list committee members and, on all reports, and recommendations the committee makes.}
