Among the requirements of NMRA 21-200, which mandates that the judge avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all the judge’s activities, is a restriction against membership or use of the facilities of any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion or national origin. The extensive commentary on this issue provided immediately after this section of the Code is well worth reviewing, especially when any doubt arises as to an organization in which the judge participates.
