“Judges may not hold any other elective or appointive office, or work in any business, commercial, or other private establishments or enterprises. Nor may they receive any remuneration other than the remuneration established for judges and payment for educational or creative activities. Judges may not participate in the activities of political parties or other political organisations.”
A judge may not hold any other elective or appointive office or work in business or other private establishments. Judges may receive only a judge's salary plus payment for educational or creative activities. Judges may not take part in the activities of political parties or other political organisations.
A judge may lecture at a university or write books and be paid for it, but may not sit on a company board, serve on a municipal council or be a party member.
Remember the exception: only educational and creative activities are allowed. The same restrictions apply to Constitutional Court justices (Article 104).
