Iowa Ct. R. 51:3.12
COMPENSATION FOR EXTRAJUDICIAL ACTIVITIES
A judge may accept reasonable compensation for extrajudicial activities permitted by
the Iowa Code of Judicial Conduct or other law* unless such acceptance would appear to a
reasonable person to undermine the judge’s independence,* integrity,* or impartiality.*
Comment
[1] A judge is permitted to accept honoraria as allowed by Iowa Court Rule 22.23, stipends,
fees, wages, salaries, royalties, or other compensation for speaking, teaching, writing, and other
extrajudicial activities, provided the compensation is reasonable and commensurate with the task
performed. The judge should be mindful, however, that judicial duties must take precedence over
other activities. See rule 51:2.1.
