A judicial appointee may accept reasonable compensation for extra-official activities permitted by this Code or other law unless such acceptance would appear to a reasonable person to undermine the judicial appointee's independence, integrity, or impartiality.

[1] A judicial appointee is permitted to accept honoraria, stipends, fees, wages, salaries, royalties, or other compensation for speaking, teaching, writing, and other extrajudicial activities, provided the compensation is reasonable and commensurate with the task performed. The judicial appointee should be mindful, however, that official duties must take precedence over other activities.

[2] Compensation derived from extra-official activities may be subject to public reporting. See Rule 18-203.15.
