UCS Ethics Resources

The ACJE will only respond to ethics inquiries from New York State judges or quasi-judicial officials regarding their own prospective conduct. Here are resources for other court-related ethics inquiries.

If you are a candidate for elective judicial office, you should contact the Judicial Campaign Ethics Center for advice and information on ethics matters relating to or arising out of your prospective campaign conduct. You can reach the Center by email contactJCEC@courts.state.ny.us, or telephone 1-888-600-JCEC[5232], or visit www.nycourts.cov/ip/jcec.
