Code of Judicial Conduct / Ethics
SECTION 10. Family engaged in political activities. - When any member of a judge's family within the fourth civil degree of consanguinity or affinity is engaged in politics or politically-related activities, a judge shall recognize that such activities of family members may adversely affect the public perception of their judicial office, and, thus, a judge shall refrain from activities that might compromise one's judicial independence and fairness.
Should a case arise where a judge's independence or fairness is placed into question due to a family member's elective position or political activity or affiliation, a judge shall consider whether inhibition is appropriate.
