Once you've been appointed to the bench, you stop practicing law. I also assumed that judges stopped providing free legal advice. Is it kosher for a sitting judge to be providing legal advice or endorsing a business that provides legal advice?

Members of the judiciary do in fact give 'advice' in various capacities.


At the big firms -- Ever hear of the term "of counsel"? Do any of you jokers even know what that means? Newsflash: over 90% of "counsels" and "of-counsels" holding set at the big firms are in fact former judges.

Arbitration -- Try corporate mediation and 3rd party arbitration. Many are in fact former judges 'advising' one or more parties. 

Our trolls on LB were at least semi-literate.  Oh well.
