Like members of the legislative and executive branches, federal judges in the USA are expected to have high standards of ethics. All federal judges follow the principles outlined in the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, which has been adopted by the Judicial Conference of the United States, the federal courts' national policy-making group. The Code of Conduct includes these guidelines:

A judge should uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary.

A judge should avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities.

A judge should perform the duties of the office impartially and diligently.

A judge may engage in extrajudicial activities to improve the law, the legal system, and the administration of justice.

A judge should regulate extrajudicial activities to minimize the risk of conflict with judicial duties.

A judge should regularly file reports of compensation received for law-related and extrajudicial activities.

A judge should refrain from political activity.

According to these ethical standards, judges should not hear cases in which they have a financial interest, a personal bias regarding a party to the case, or earlier involvement in the case as a lawyer. Further, judges are expected to participate in activities that contribute to the public good through improvement of the legal and judicial systems, and as a result, many judges are engaged in law-related education activities in schools.
