Contacts | | Obviously the list developed here is a just a small fraction of the ethics codes adopted by courts around the world. We
especially invite courts outside the United States to send us links to or copies
of their codes so we can include them here.

version. My thanks to Norman Meyer, Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court in

| Serbia/Multiple Countries. The Serbia
Rule of Law Project offered a course on legal ethics in the Winter 2005
semester. As part of the background information for that course, their
website compiled a list of dozens of court, attorney, and other ethics codes
and related references from around the world, particularly in European
countries. This is the bext list I've found so far on ethics codes in
European courts.
(The site seemed to be hosted in the past by the National Center for
State Courts in Virginia (US), but the link was recently revised.)

| United Nations/Multiple Countries, Bangalore
Principles of Judicial Conduct [.pdf] In 2000 a group
of ten Chief Justices from Asia and Africa assembled as the Judicial
Group for the Strengthening of Judicial Integrity (JGSJI), under UN
sponsorship. In 2001, the group convened with others in
Bangalore, India under sponsorship by the United Kingdom's Department for
International Development, and endorsed a draft code of judicial conduct
and principles. The Code was revised and published in 2002.
