Employment in the court system
is a public trust engendered by the citizens' confidence
in the professional knowledge and competency and personal
integrity of the officers and employees of the judicial
branch. A professional knows every aspect of his or
her job and can provide complete, understandable answers
to the public's questions. A professional presents a
businesslike image of methodical and systematic efficiency
and does not abuse the position of power that special
knowledge affords. A professional never criticizes a
coworker in public or denigrates a customer at the counter.
A professional raises conflict resolution to an art
form, always seeking to preserve the dignity of the
court. The word "respect" is never far from
the professional's mind.
