This is funny because I literally took the MPRE today. You don't need to show evidence of quid pro quo corruption for judicial ethics violations to have occurred. I'd point you to the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional_responsibility/publications/model_code_of_judicial_conduct/ https://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional_responsibili... "A judge shall uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety *and the appearance of impropriety.*" further, rule 3.13(A) states: "A judge shall not accept any gifts, loans, bequests, benefits, or other things of value, if acceptance is prohibited by law *or would appear to a reasonable person* to undermine the judge’s independence, integrity, or impartiality." How about rule 2.11(A)(3), which states a judge must disqualify themselves from a proceeding where "The judge knows that he or she, individually or as a fiduciary, or the judge’s spouse, domestic partner, parent, or child, or any other member of the judge’s family residing in the judge’s household, has an economic interest in the subject matter in controversy or in a party to the proceeding."
