NYS Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics – Interview: Opinion 18-126
By: Daily Record Staff//February 25, 2019
New York State Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics
Interview
Exclusive blog post – Private law firm
Opinion 18-126
Background: A full-time judge who participated in an interview with an active bar association member recently learned that the interview was posted exclusively on a private law firm’s blog, instead of a bar association publication as the judge expected. The judge promptly asked the firm to remove the blog post from its website while seeking guidance concerning the interview’s propriety and its blog post. The firm litigates cases in the judge’s specialized court, but the judge now has no cases involving the firm.
Opinion: The Committee concluded that a full-time judge may not consent to an interview that will be posted exclusively on a private law firm’s website. Learning his interview has nonetheless been posted on a law firm’s website, the judge must instruct the firm to remove the post. Further, the judge may not subscribe to a law firm’s blog, even using a personal email address.
