A municipal judge has a duty to report unethical conduct of another judge.

• A. P
• B. I
• C. True
• D. False

Answer: (C)

Judges are bound by ethics to uphold the integrity of the judiciary, which includes reporting credible concerns about another judge’s misconduct to the appropriate disciplinary authority. This duty exists to ensure that misconduct is investigated and addressed, preserving public trust in the courts. If you observe unethical behavior by a fellow judge, you should report it to the proper body, such as the state judicial conduct commission or the relevant disciplinary authority, so it can be reviewed. This obligation is not optional; failing to report can undermine accountability and may itself raise ethical concerns. The statement is true because it reflects a standard expectation in judicial ethics. If you’re unsure what to report or how, consult the applicable code of conduct.
