Judicial Disqualification
The Illinois State Bar Association has recommended that the Illinois Supreme Court adopt a judicial disqualification rule to address campaign contributions made to the judge by litigants. See www.isba.org/committees/judicialdisqualificationstandards. In a case filed by Las Vegas family law attorney Bruce Shapiro of Pecos Group, the Nevada Supreme Court is considering similar standards. See Ivey v. Ivey, http://caseinfo.nvsupremecourt.us/public/caseView.do?csIID=27455.
