Abstract

Judges are lawyers, but they are not members of law societies. Furthermore, the roles and responsibilities of judges are distinct from those of lawyers. Consequently, judges inhabit a discrete and distinctive ethical domain from that of lawyers. In Chapter 1, it was suggested that three core principles structure the lawyer's world: loyal advocacy, lawyers as moral agents in the pursuit of justice and integrity. For judges, the Canadian judicial Council stipulates that there are five core principles: (1) judicial independence; (2) integrity and respect; (3) diligence and competence; (4) equality; and (5) impartiality. In what follows we will provide only an introduction to this broad and dynamic domain of ethics.
