​2005-11 - Amendments of Canons 2, 4, 5, and 7 of the Code of Judicial Conduct and Amendment of Rule 8.2 of the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct
Revisions of the Canons attempt to provide consistency regarding law-related and nonlaw-related extrajudicial activities in which judges may participate, and clarify the activities that are allowed or prohibited; the revision of MRPC 8.2, which applies to lawyers, reflects that the judicial canons that are applicable to judicial candidates are set out in new Canon 5.

Would add new subrule [I] that would require the JTC to notify a court's chief judge if a referee or magistrate is subject to a corrective action that does not rise to level of a formal complaint, including a letter of caution, a conditional dismissal, etc.; the new requirement would not apply to a dismissal with explanation.
