COMMENT

1. To ensure that judges are available to fulfill their judicial duties, judges must conduct their personal and extrajudicial activities to minimize the risk of conflicts that would result in frequent disqualification. See Canon 3.

2. Judicial duties are those prescribed by law. In addition, judges are encouraged to participate in activities that promote public understanding of and confidence in the justice system.
