PER CURIAM |
||||
| Judges must, at all times, be beyond reproach and should avoid even the mere suggestion of partiality and impropriety.[24] Canon 4 of the New Code of Judicial Conduct states that "[p]ropriety and the appearance of propriety are essential to the performance of all the activities of a judge." Section 2 further provides: SEC. 2. As a subject of constant public scrutiny, judges must accept personal restrictions that might be viewed as burdensome by the ordinary citizen and should do so freely and willingly. In particular, judges shall conduct themselves in a way that is consistent with the dignity of the judicial office. | |||||
