treatment must be accorded all courtroom participants, whether judges, attorneys,
witnesses, litigants, jurors, or court personnel. The duty to be respectful of others
includes the responsibility to avoid comment or behavior that can reasonably be
interpreted as manifesting prejudice or bias toward another on the basis of categories
such as gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, or sexual orientation.
