Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Judge Martinez is an active member of a local charity board and frequently discusses her experiences on public panels. Recently, a case has arisen involving a person closely associated with the charity. What is Judge Martinez's most appropriate course of action?
Proceed to hear the case but disclose her charitable involvement to all parties involved.
Limit her participation in charity activities to prevent any conflict of interest.
Seek guidance from a judicial ethics committee while continuing to serve on the charity board.
Recuse herself from the case to maintain impartiality and uphold judicial ethics.
The correct answer is to disqualify herself from presiding over the case to avoid any potential conflict of interest or the appearance of bias due to her extrajudicial involvement with the charity. Continuing to participate without disqualification could undermine the impartiality expected of a judge.
