Arizona Constitution Practice Test

What are judges and justices allowed to do?

1. Run for another public office

2. Assume other judicial offices

3. Practice law

4. Take part in political campaigns

The correct answer is: Assume other judicial offices

Judges and justices may assume other judicial offices as part of their duty within the judicial system. This means they can be appointed or elected to different courts or positions within the judiciary, which helps ensure a deep pool of experienced legal professionals can be utilized in various capacities. This ability supports the efficient functioning of the judicial system and allows for the sharing of knowledge and best practices across different levels of the court system. In contrast, options that involve running for another public office, practicing law, or participating in political campaigns are often restricted due to the ethical considerations and impartiality expected of judges and justices. These restrictions are in place to maintain the integrity of the judicial branch and ensure that judges remain unbiased and focused on their judicial responsibilities without external political influences.
