Code of Judicial Conduct / Ethics
SECTION 9. Family interests affecting judicial duties. - A judge shall instruct their family members not to invoke or use the judge's position, nor convey any impression of influence over the judge in order to secure benefits, obtain favors, or, in any, way advance the family member's personal, professional, or financial concerns or interests.
A judge is expected to know the professional or financial concerns of their family members insofar as they may be relevant to the discharge of their judicial functions and the necessity of inhibition. When the circumstances indicate that a judge was in the position to know or ought to have known such concerns, the lack of knowledge may not be raised as an excuse for the failure of a judge to inhibit in the proper case.
A judge's family includes a judge's spouse or partner, their children, the spouses or partners of their children, their parents, and the parents of their spouse or partner.
