Rule 2.16. Cooperation with Disciplinary Authorities.
(A) A magisterial district judge shall cooperate and be candid and honest with judicial and lawyer disciplinary agencies.
(B) A magisterial district judge shall not retaliate, directly or indirectly, against a person known or suspected to have assisted or cooperated with an investigation of a magisterial district judge or a lawyer.
Comment: Cooperation with investigations and proceedings of judicial and lawyer discipline agencies, as required in paragraph (A), instills confidence in magisterial district judges’ commitment to the integrity of the judicial system and the protection of the public.
