"A judge's independence may be further compromised by his or her attendance because the necessary separation between judicial duties and law enforcement activities is not properly maintained," the Ohio advisory opinion said. "This is particularly apparent and most concerning when the course, using law enforcement instructors, provides training to judges about the 'admissibility, judicial notice and testimony pertaining to Speed Measuring Devices.'"

In a series of recent advisory opinions, the Ohio Board of Professional Conduct said judges should not attend speed-detection device training offered by a law enforcement agency that is specifically geared toward judicial officers, prosecutors and other members of the legal community.
In the first opinion, issued Oct. 7, the board advised against judges attending the training because it may impact perceptions of the judge’s independence, integrity and impartiality, the opinion said.
