A Funny Thing Happened Reading Court Pleadings Today
Q. May a judicial officer compile humorous letters and/or pleadings sent to the court into a publication that could be sold with the proceeds going to a charitable cause?
A. "Yes" according to State of Washington Ethics Advisory Committee's Opinion 11-01, so long as that "it does not appear that the judicial officer is trivializing or in any way disparaging the persons who authored the letters or pleadings."
