In addition to the ABA’s Model Code of Judicial Conduct for Hearing Officials, statutory laws also govern aspects of ethical conduct for administrative officials in some jurisdictions. This session reviews both standards as they pertain to disqualification or recusal from presiding over a given hearing, and the circumstances under which recusal or disqualification would be desirable, if not necessary. This class will also review the legal opinions from the various states regarding social media postings by judges. In addition, this class will cover the circumstances under which an administrative hearing official may and may not take judicial notice.
