. 

INTRODUCTION 

A  fair  and  independent  court  system  is  essential  to  the  administration  of  justice.    Proper 
conduct  by  employees  of  the  Unified  Judicial  System  of  Pennsylvania  (UJS)  inspires  public 
confidence  and  trust  in  the  courts,  and  conveys  the  values  of  impartiality  and  fairness  that 
promote the integrity of the work of the Unified Judicial System.   

n  employee  of  the  Unified  Judicial  System  shall  observe  high  standards  of  conduct  so  that 
the  integrity  and  independence  of  the  judiciary  are  preserved  and  the  employee’s  conduct 
reflects  a  commitment  to  serving  the  public.   The  provisions  of this  Code  shall  be  applied  to 
further these objectives. 

mployees  of  the  Unified  Judicial  System  shall  observe  the  following  standards  of  conduct. 
However,  the  standards  of  this  Code  shall  not  affect  or  preclude  other  more  stringent 
standards required by law, by court order or rule, or other workplace policies.

from any person or entity doing or seeking to do business with, or having an interest in a 
matter before, the court or court-related entity by which they are employed, subject to 
the following exceptions:   

i. 

acceptance  of  a  gift  from  a  family  member  when  the  circumstances  make  it

grandchild, 
father-in-law,  mother-in-law,  sister-in-law,  brother-in-law,  son-in-law,

logo. 

ote:  Employees must exercise diligence in observing high standards of conduct that 
promote  the  integrity  and  impartiality  of  the  Unified  Judicial  System.    If  it  might 
reasonably  be  inferred  that  the  donor’s  primary  purpose  in  providing  the  unsolicited 
advertising  or  promotional  material  is  to  influence  an  employee  in  the  performance  of 
official duties, acceptance of the unsolicited material should be declined.

and made on their own time. 
 
Special  Treatment  and/or  Special  Favors.    Employees  of  the  Unified  Judicial

laws.    Employees  of  the  Unified  Judicial  System  shall  avoid  favoritism,  or  the 
appearance of favoritism, when making hiring, employment, and supervisory decisions 
and shall make such decisions impartially and on the basis of merit. 

Note:  Reflecting  the  values  of  impartiality  and  fairness  that  promote  the  integrity  of 
Pennsylvania’s  courts,  it  is  the  policy  of  the  Unified  Judicial  System  to  recruit  and  employ  the 
most qualified job applicants through an open and competitive hiring process which allows for a 
full,  complete,  and  unbiased  assessment  of  each  applicant’s  relative  knowledge,  experience, 
skills, and abilities.   

Misuse  of  Employment  Position,  Equipment,  or  Supplies.    Employees  of  the

minimal personal or financial interest.   

Duty  to  Disclose.    If  a  conflict  of  interest  should  arise,  the  employee  shall

of  interest  exists,  then  the  employee  shall  abide  by  any  employment  restrictions that 
are deemed to be necessary.   

Employees  of  the  Unified  Judicial  System  shall  not  engage  in  political  activity  that  is

 6 

Employees of the Unified Judicial System may write, lecture, teach, and speak on legal 
or non-legal subjects provided that such activities do not detract from the impartiality of 
the judiciary and/or interfere with the performance of their official duties. 

Employees of the Unified Judicial System shall not state personal opinions, except to 
other  UJS  employees,  regarding  any  legal  or  administrative  matter  that  is  pending 
before  any  UJS  court  or  entity  when  the  personal  opinion  of  the  employee  may 
reasonably  be  construed  as  representing  the  official  position  of  the  employee  or  the 
official position of a UJS court, jurist, entity or another employee. 

Note: Rule 2.10 of the Code of Judicial Conduct provides in part, as follows:  Rule 2.10.  Judicial 
Statements  on  Pending  and  Impending  Cases.    (A)  A  judge  shall  not  make  any  public 
statement that might reasonably be expected to affect the outcome or impair the fairness of a 
matter  pending  or  impending  in  any  court,  or  make  any  nonpublic  statement  that  might 
substantially interfere with a fair trial or hearing.  (B)  A judge shall not, in connection with cases, 
controversies,  or  issues  that  are  likely  to  come  before  the  court,  make  pledges,  promises,  or 
commitments  that  are  inconsistent  with  the  impartial  performance  of  the  adjudicative  duties  of 
judicial office.  (C)  A judge shall require court staff, court officials, and others subject to 
the judge’s direction and control to refrain from making statements that the judge would 
be  prohibited  from  making  by  paragraphs  (A)  and  (B).    See  also  Rule  2.10  of  the  Rules 
Governing Standards of Conduct of Magisterial District Judges. 
 
Employees of the Unified Judicial System shall not require, request or accept the offer 
of any subordinate to perform tasks of a personal nature. 

 

Employees  of  the  Unified  Judicial  System  shall  not  engage  in  financial  or  business 
dealings or in any other personal activities that may detract from the impartiality of the 
judiciary,  may  otherwise  interfere  with  the  performance  of  their  official  duties,  or  may 
exploit the employee’s official position. 

Employees  of  the  Unified  Judicial  System  may  engage  in  outside  employment  or 
commercial  activity  that  does  not  interfere  or  conflict  with  their  official  duties.  Outside 
employment  or  commercial  activities  must  be  reported  in  writing  in  advance  to  the 
employee’s  supervisor.  Business  transactions  that  are  strictly  personal,  minor  or 
incidental need not be reported. 

Before engaging in any outside employment that involves the practice of law, the legal 
system or the administration of justice, the employee shall first consult with his or her 
supervisor to determine whether the proposed position is consistent with the standards 
in this Code. 

This  requirement  does  not  extend  to  official  representation  of  the  UJS  and  its 
constituent  parts,  judicial  officers  and  employees  in  any  state  or  federal  court  or 
tribunal.    Nor  does  this  requirement  extend  to  the  limited  representation  of  the 
employee’s relatives or self, but such limited representation is subject to prior approval 
by the employee’s supervisor and to the disclosure of UJS employment to the parties 
and the court in which the employee enters an appearance or represents him/herself in 
a matter.  

Note: The Supreme Court has adopted several specific policies respecting the practice of law, 
other than on behalf of the UJS:  (1) Pennsylvania Rule of Appellate Procedure 3121 prohibits 
the practice of law by appellate court staff except in limited circumstances.  (2) Pursuant to the 
Supreme Court’s Per Curiam Order dated December 11, 2014 (effective September 11, 2015), 
law clerks employed in the Unified Judicial System are prohibited from appearing as counsel in 
the division/section of the court in which they are employed or in which the judge by whom they 
are employed serves.  Further, in courts which have no formally established divisions or
