Important considerations:

  • Judicial ethics prohibit judges from participating in any fundraising—no matter how important or good the cause.  Consequently, judges do not attend events involving any fundraising or the mention of fundraising.
  • For ethical reasons, judges refrain from talking about the court’s decisions and any case pending in the courts. 
  • For speech time, we highly suggest 15-20 minutes, plus 10-15 minutes for Q&A if desired. 
  • Judges do not accept honoraria (speaking fees) and gifts.

 

Additional information required upon tentative acceptance of invitation:

  • Driving directions to event.
  • Name of person who will meet judge at event?
  • Will sponsor provide a podium?
  • Will sponsor provide a microphone?
  • Will sponsor provide a projector, screen and other equipment if necessary?
  • Copy or summary of event program (other speakers and topics, if applicable).
