of the Bar, including public relations ef- forts, establishment of a clearing house for complaints, mechanisms for review of complaints and, where appropriate, prosecution of the unauthorized practice of law. The Subcommittee on the Judges’ Role in the Bar and with the Community studied ways to integrate judges into the legal community while maintaining ju- dicial integrity and independence. The subcommittee determined that the age- old practice in which judges are isolated from practicing lawyers in the legal com- munity is no longer a desired ideal. The subcommittee examined the canons and rules for judges and evaluated activities currently permitted for judges, such as serving on boards, commissions, partici- pating in Bar activities and teaching. In submitting its report to the Court, the commission stresses that its goal is to cre- ate a higher awareness of professionalism within the legal community.
