Consider the following statements about the Restatement of Values of Judicial Life (1997):
Statement 1: A judge may contest the election to any office of a club, society or association.
Statement 2: Close association with individual members of the Bar, particularly those who practise in the same court, shall be eschewed.
Statement 3: A judge shall not accept gifts or hospitality except from his family, close relations and friends.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Clause 3 requires close association with members of the Bar practising in the same court to be eschewed, and clause 10 limits gifts and hospitality to family, close relations and friends. Statement 1 is wrong because clause 2 says a judge "should not contest the election to any office of a Club, society or other association". He may hold such elective office only in a society or association connected with the law.
