Former District Judge Stephen Gold offers his views on revisions to the judicial conduct guide, in this week’s NLJ

Gold foretells some X posts (formerly known as Tweets) coming down. He also highlights the guidance that fee-paid judges should use their title only in a judicial capacity or on their CV ‘and not as an advertisement for professional services or for the furtherance of trade, business, or political interests’.

Gold also suggests the CPR committee ‘take a few hundred leaves out of the book of the Employment Appeal Tribunal (Amendment) Rules 2013’. He bemoans the state of the postal service, and serves up some tips for wannabe Golds as the Judicial Appointments Commission advertises for 100 district judges.
