New York State Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics
Not-for-profit speaking invitation
Judge’s likeness for advertising
Opinion 22-75
Background: A full-time judge asks if he may accept a not-for-profit organization’s invitation to speak about the judge’s experience as a member of a minority group at a free community celebration of Pride month and permit the organization to use the judge’s photo and title in social media promotions of the event. There is no money being raised for the event.
Opinion: The Committee concluded that a judge may accept an invitation to speak at a free community celebration of Pride month, provided the event is not a fund-raiser, and subject to generally applicable limitations on judicial speech and conduct. The judge may also permit the organization to use the judge’s photo and title in social media promotions advertising the free event.
