The Judicial Section continues to provide a forum to examine and discuss issues affecting the judiciary. A principal benefit to Judicial Section Members is our Ethics Committee. Led by Chair Judge Lee Gabriel, the Committee responds to ethics questions from members who can receive opinions on an informal basis or, upon written request, a formal written advisory opinion. The Judicial Section also maintains a database of Ethics Opinions for use by its members. With joint efforts led by IT/Website Committee Chair Victor Villarreal, current and future members of our Section benefit from online resources that help improve performance measures and provide guidance when needed. During and between legislative sessions, the Legislative Committee, led by Chair Judge Alfonso Charles, continues to monitor and keep members informed of new and proposed legislation affecting the judicial system, including efforts related to judicial compensation.
