When asking the court for comment on a story, remember the court cannot comment on pending cases. California Code of Judicial Ethics, Canon 3B(9) provides, in essence, that: (1) a judge shall not make any public comment about a pending or impending proceeding in any court, and (2) the judge shall require a similar abstention on the part of staff subject to the judge’s direction and control.
