The Executive Office for Immigration Review has released an ethics and professionalism guide for Immigration Judges. The purpose of the guide is:
To preserve and promote integrity and professionalism, Immigration Judges employed by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) should observe high standards of ethical conduct, act in a manner that promotes public confidence in their impartiality, and avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities.
The provisions in the guide are binding on all Immigration Judges employed by EOIR, but they may not be used offensively to challenge the actual rulings of an Immigration Judge if it is internally determined that an ethical violation has been committed.
