The duties of judicial office, as prescribed by law,* shall take precedence over all of a judge's personal and extrajudicial activities.
Colo. Code. Jud. Cond. 2.1
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] Although it is not a duty of judicial office unless prescribed by law, judges are encouraged to participate in activities that promote public understanding of and confidence in the justice system.
ETHICS OPINIONS Whether a judge may sit on the board of directors of his or her homeowner's association is to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Where the association is large and substantial, maintains significant cash reserves, operates under a sizeable budget and engages in substantial business-type contacts with the outside enterprises of the kind that might involve the association in litigation, it would be inappropriate for a judge to serve on the association's board.
