Short of actual criminal behavior, no type of judicial misconduct in recent years has been more injurious to public confidence in the judiciary than instances of judges engaging in sexual harassment, predatory behavior, or discrimination on the basis of gender, gender preference, gender identity, or any of these with combined with other characteristics such as race and ethnicity. Participants will learn about these behaviors, how they are defined, and how judicial ethics principles treats them when engaged in by judges, court staff, and lawyers appearing before the court.
