Commentary

Canon 3D. Appropriate action may include direct communication with the judge or lawyer who has committed the violation, other direct action if available, or reporting the violation to the appropriate authority or other agency. If the conduct is minor, the Canon allows a judge to address the problem solely by direct communication with the offender. A judge having knowledge, however, that another judge has committed a violation of this Code that raises a substantial question as to that other judge’s fitness for office or has knowledge that a lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a substantial question as to the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other respects, is required under this Canon to inform the appropriate authority. While worded differently, this Code provision has the identical purpose as the related Model Code provisions.

[Commentary amended June 15, 1995 (656 So. 2d 926); Aug. 24, 1995 (659 So. 2d 692); Nov. 9, 1995 (662 So. 2d 930); Jan. 23, 2003; (838 So. 2d 521); Jan. 5, 2006 (918 So. 2d 949).

Congratulations! You're now booked up on Canon 3D from Florida's Code of Judicial Conduct! Here's the current version.

You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.

For instance, you might need to understand certain codes of conduct to protect yourself from judges/lawyers who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).

As always, please get the justice you deserve.

Sincerely,
