Maine Code of Judicial Conduct

Rule: 3.12

Jurisdiction: ME

Bluebook Citation: Me. Code Jud. Conduct 3.12

27 A judge may receive income and honoraria attributable to the extrajudicial activities permitted by this Code, unless such acceptance would appear to undermine the judge’s independence, integrity, or impartiality. Income and honoraria shall not exceed a reasonable amount nor shall they exceed what a person who is not a judge would receive as a result of the same activity. Expense reimbursement or payment shall be limited to the actual cost of travel, food, and lodging reasonably incurred by the judge and, where appropriate to the occasion, by the judge’s spouse, domestic partner, guest, or dependent children. Any payment in excess of such an amount shall be treated as an honorarium.
