Book excerpt: "Effective January 5, 1975, the California Judges Association adopted a new California Code of Judicial Conduct adapted from the American Bar Association 1972 Model Code. The California code was recast in gender-neutral form in 1986. In 1990, The American Bar Association Model Code was further revised after a lengthy study. The California Judges Association again reviewed the model code and adopted a revised California Code of Judicial Conduct on October 5, 1992... The Supreme Court formally adopted the 1992 Code of Judicial conduct in March 1995, as a transitional measure pending further review. The Supreme Court formally adopted this Code of Judicial Ethics effective January 15, 1996"--P. iii, preface.
