Judges’ actions transcend beyond the courtrooms, and they must be accountable for any public or private wrongdoings to uphold their personal and professional ethics and restore public confidence in the judicial system.

 

  1. Continuous Evaluation and Adaptation: The provisions covering the privacy of judges deserve a regular update and adjustments based on the revisions of societal trends, technology, and legal precedents.

  1. Public Education and Awareness: Attempt to inform the public on the reason for judges’ privacy laws and why the laws give protection to certain judges and journalists who may happen to report on court proceedings.
