Statements of principle and guidelines for judicial conduct

These Statements of Principle and Guidelines for Judicial Conduct highlight the core judicial values for our nation’s judges, masters, registrars, magistrates, all judicial officers, and the public.

They are pivotal in the Judiciary’s continuous efforts to strengthen public trust and confidence in our judicial system and are essential to the facilitation of the integrity of our nation’s judicial system, owing to their insistence on the highest standards of judicial virtue. We hope that they will serve both as a foundation for excellence and an instrument for achieving judicial compliance with the demands of the rule of law.
