The Judicial Conference Committee on Financial Disclosure recently approved revisions regarding ethics and judicial conduct

 

The Judicial Conference Committee on Financial Disclosure approved revisions to Guide to Judiciary Policy, Volume 2 (Ethics and Judicial Conduct), Part D (Financial Disclosure) to:

• reflect recent legislative history,
• promote consistency with Committee on Codes of Conduct regulations,
• clarify application of the personal hospitality exemption to gifts received at personal residences owned by corporate entities,
• delete examples that will be moved into next year's filing instructions, and
• ensure the guidance’s accuracy and completeness.

The document is lengthy. I have included some excerpts in the post.
