Bar to Ban Campaigning Judges From CLE Panels?

Posted on December 14, 2007 by D. Todd Smith
According to this report from Legal Trade, the State Bar is considering a policy change that would prevent campaigning judges from participating as course directors, planning committee members, or speakers at bar-approved CLE courses.  As a regular attendee of the two major appellate CLE programs, both of which feature appellate judges as speakers, this idea seems silly.  I have never heard a judge make political remarks in this situation.  What evil is the proposed rule intended to cure?
