Canon 1. A Judge Shall Uphold the Integrity and Independence of the Judiciary.
An independent and honorable judiciary is indispensable to achieving justice in our society. A judge should participate in establishing, maintaining, and enforcing high standards of judicial conduct. The provisions of this Code are intended to preserve the integrity and the independence of the judiciary; the Code should be construed and applied to further these objectives.
Commentary. - Deference to the judgments and rulings of courts depends upon public confidence in the integrity and independence of judges. The integrity and independence of judges depend in turn upon their acting without fear or favor. Public confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary is maintained when judges adhere to the provisions of this Code. Conversely, violation of this Code diminishes public confidence in the judiciary and thereby does injury to the system of government under law.
