Teema: **SPAM** Enquiry concerning judges´ secondary activities and activities on social media
**HOIATUS** Selles kirjas esineb kahtlast sisu. Palun olla tähelepanelik selle töötlemisel. Küsimuste korral pöördu IT osakonda.
Honourable Members of the Network,
I am writing you on behalf of President Petr Angyalossy with regards to the enquiry concerning two topics – secondary activities of judges and their activities on social media. The role of a judge, as we understand it, is to refrain from any activity which would impede judicial independence or his/ her impartiality. In this regard, we consider two mentioned topics as crucial - your answers would enable us to assess possible various views on such activities and underlying rationale behind restrictions stipulated in your national legal framework. We are interested in the answers both from legal regulation and case-law perspective, as well as from the perspective of ethical rules related to judges in your country.
A) Secondary Activities
What sources of law regulate secondary activities of judges (laws, regulations, internal norms, non-binding or social norms, code of ethics)? What is the content of such norms?
Which secondary activities are allowed (e.g. teaching, publishing, etc.)? Or, on the contrary, which types of activity are judges explicitly called to refrain from?
Are such activities limited (in terms of time and remuneration)? Do such activities require, and if so under what conditions, notification or prior authorisation?
Is there a boundary between administration of judge´s own property and his/ her gainful activity? Are there any guidelines for the discernment between the two activities?
What is the perception on judges´ systematic gainful activity for private educational institutions?
Is there any case-law in respect of secondary activities of judges?
B) Social Media Activity
What sources of law regulate the behaviour of judges on social media platforms (laws, regulations, internal norms, non-legal norms, code of ethics)? What is the content of such norms?
Are there any limits concerning the activities of judges on social networks, both the expressions/ publications of private nature as well as the publications concerning the topics of general interest or political importance? Is there equally a difference between the private and public profiles bearing in mind the number of addressees/ followers?
Is the participation in certain “group”, “like” or “follow” on the social media capable of threatening the dignity of a judge?
Is there any case-law in respect of activities of judges on social media?
Is there a debate throughout the (legal) community concerning the behaviour of a judge on social media?
We would appreciate your answer by 27. September 2021 sent to the email address
