Are there other resources available to assist a person running for judicial office?
A. A State Bar of Michigan publication, entitled “Becoming a Judge: Ethics and Campaign Practices,” is available from the State Bar at nominal cost and was assembled to assist judicial candidates throughout the election cycle. That booklet, published in January 2000, contains more detailed answers to the above questions, as well as the answers to many other ethics issues surrounding a judicial campaign. The booklet includes the January 1, 2000 amendments to Canon 7 and a new Canon 8 of the MCJC adopted by the Michigan Supreme Court.
