Arizona SB1755 prohibits judges from practicing law, with exceptions for pro se representation and unpaid family advice.

Arizona SB1755 amends the state's law to prohibit judges from practicing law, except for specific exceptions. Judges are barred from engaging in legal practice but can represent themselves in legal matters. Additionally, judges may provide unpaid legal advice and document drafting or review services to family members, but they cannot represent family members in any legal forum. This law aims to maintain the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary by limiting potential conflicts of interest.
