RPC01.12. Former Judge, Arbitrator, Mediator or Other Third-Party Neutral. Amend. This amendment restricts a former appellate judge or justice from appearing as counsel before the court in which the judge or justice last held office.
The change to RPC01.12 seems completely unnecessary and unreasonably restricts a judge’s right to pursue a living. I don’t think it should be adopted.
