SC approves rules for judges, justices on integrity, use of social media
The Supreme Court (SC) has approved the 2025 Code of Judicial Conduct and Accountability (CJCA), designed to foster a technology-driven and integrity-centered justice system.
Key features of the updated code include strengthened regulations on conflict of interest, financial transparency, and ethical conduct for judges and justices.
The CJCA also incorporates enhanced accountability measures, guidelines for the responsible use of technology and social media, and promotes gender fairness and inclusivity.
According to the SC, the CJCA provides clearer guidance on principles such as independence, integrity, impartiality, and competence, adapting to contemporary judging realities.
This code is the final part of a three-pronged initiative by Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo, following the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (CPRA) for lawyers and the Code of Conduct and Accountability for Court Officials and Personnel (CCACOP).
A nationwide oath-taking ceremony for the CJCA and CCACOP is scheduled for November 18, 2025.
