Practice question
An incumbent judge proposes teaching a law subject under applicable guidelines without impairing judicial duties, and also proposes accepting a private client's court case on weekends. The judge argues that permission for academic interests authorizes both. Which answer is correct?
- Both are automatically allowed as academic activities
- Neither can ever be considered because all academic work is forbidden
- The private case becomes teaching if the client is a student
- A private retainer overrides the CJCA
- The academic activity may be permitted under Section 16, while private law practice remains prohibited by Section 19(a)
