Canon 4A of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges provides: “A judge may speak,

write, lecture, teach, and participate in other activities concerning the law, the legal system, and the

administration of justice.” Canon 6 of the Code states:

A judge may receive compensation and reimbursement of expenses for the

law-related and extra-judicial activities permitted by this Code, if the source of such

payments does not give the appearance of influencing the judge in the judge’s

judicial duties or otherwise give the appearance of impropriety, subject to the

following restrictions:

A

Compensation. Compensation should not exceed a reasonable amount nor

should it exceed what a person who is not a judge would receive for the same

activity.

*

*

*

C

Public Reports. A judge should make required financial disclosures in

compliance with applicable statutes and Judicial Conference regulations and

directives.

The need to review and update one’s teaching maternal to stay fresh and relevant is inherent in any

long-term teaching activity. Thus, the Committee concludes that the retooling and updating of your

teaching methodologies and course matenals is part of “teaching” and is permissible under Canon

4A. Furthermore, subject to the constraints of Canon 6, you may receive compensation for your

work.

This conclusion is further supported by the Committee’s analysis of Title VI of the Ethics

Reform Act of 1989. Section 4(a) of the regulations implementing the Act provides that a judicial

officer may not receive an honorarium, which is defined in Section 4(b) as “a payment of money or

anything of value . . . for an appearance, speech or article by a judicial officer or employee.” But

Section 4(b)(2) excludes from the definition of “honorarium” compensation received for “teaching

activity,” if prior approval of the teaching activity is obtained from the chief judge of the circuit as

required by Section 5 of the regulations. Section 5(b) of the regulations provides that:

“Teaching” in these regulations includes teaching a course of study at an accredited

educational institution or participating in an educational program of any duration that

is sponsored by such an institution and is part of its educational offering. Examples

of the latter are a lecture, lecture series or symposia sponsored by a law school or

college. Teaching also includes participation in continuing legal education programs

for which credit is given by licensing authorities or programs which arc sponsored

by recognized providers of continuing legal education.

Paragraph 12 of the Commentary to the regulations explains:
