Welcome to MJI's Campaign Ethics Training Page
There are several situations
presented here, each of which present multiple dilemmas for judicial candidates.
The exercises are designed to illustrate principles contained in the ethics
rules governing political conduct of judges. The scenarios presented demonstrate
situations in political campaigns. As in real political life, pressures to cooperate
with allies, to defeat opponents, and to respond quickly to the unexpected will
arise. Test how well you respond to each of these scenarios while complying
with the Michigan Code of Judicial Conduct.
