Could you highlight the changes in the new Code of Judicial Conduct adopted by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court?
The new Code of Judicial Conduct that has been adopted does not go into effect until July 1. Some provisions involving appointments, discriminatory organizations, participation in fraternal or civic organizations, fiduciary obligations, and financial activities do not go into effect until July 1, 2015. Therefore, there is a transition time, as there has to be because there are substantial differences between the old and new codes.
