The Judicial Inquiry Commission has reviewed your request for an opinion concerning
to what extent a District Judge may participate in a corporation partly owned by him and
in which he is a member of the board of directors. Your question cannot be answered
by this Commission as to specific acts or activities in which a judge serving in the extrajudicial
capacity which you describe may engage. However, for your benefit we draw
your attention to Canon 5 of the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics, the pertinent
canon in this instance.
