Clause 13 of the Restatement of Values of Judicial Life (1997) forbids a judge to engage, directly or indirectly, in trade or business. Which activity does the clause itself say shall NOT be treated as trade or business?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Clause 13 says "Publication of a legal treatise or any activity in the nature of a hobby shall not be construed as trade or business". Running a business through others is still indirect business, and clause 12 separately forbids speculating in shares. Writing a law book is therefore permitted.
