Important New Ethics Training Requirement for Candidates for Elected Judicial Office

The Administrative Board of the Courts recently amended the Rules Governing Judicial Conduct to establish mandatory judicial ethics training for all candidates in judicial elections except those seeking election as town and village justices.

The court system's Judicial Campaign Ethics Center (http://www.nycourts.gov/ip/jcec/) is responsible for developing and implementing this mandatory training program.  The Center will provide several options to candidates, including live training at the Judicial Institute in White Plains on July 28, 2006, and September 19, 2006.  There will be simulcasts of these programs at locations throughout the state, and options for candidates who cannot attend either the live or simulcast presentations.  Each candidate must complete the campaign ethics training requirement within thirty days after receiving the judicial nomination or ninety days prior to receiving the nominations.  22 NYCRR 110.5(A)(4)(f).  For more information, including specific details about the location and timing of the live and simulcast programs, candidates may contact the Judicial Campaign Ethics Center by phone at 1-888-600-5232 or by e-mail at contactjcec@courts.state.ny.us and check the Center's website for the latest news and updates.
