The rule of law requires public trust and confidence in the judicial system.

This confidence is undermined when judges make ethical missteps. Too often we read stories in local and national media about judges who have behaved badly. These incidents cast a negative light on the entire judicial system. For these reasons it has never been more important for judicial decision-makers to be qualified, skilled and ethical.
