This is in response to your request for an advisory opinion from the Alabama Judicial
Inquiry Commission. Your question is:
“I am presently an active member of the Air Force Reserves. My
retirement with the military will be vested in April of 1993, provided I
remain qualified and on active reserve status. With this knowledge of my
affiliation with the military, please advise me if my vote should be
precluded in cases which come before this court that deal with (1) military
retirement and/or (2) military retirement pay and/or benefits.”
