Opinion

Opinion  CJE Opinion No. 99-8

Date: 05/27/1999
Organization: Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

After the Committee on Judicial Ethics (CJE) issued this opinion, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) adopted a revised Code of Judicial Conduct (the "Code"). Because this opinion was rendered under a prior version of the Code, a judge should not rely on it without contacting the Committee on Judicial Ethics.

The opinion involves Canon 3 (C) (1) of the Code of Judicial Conduct.
