Florida’s Code of Judicial Conduct bars judges and candidates running for election to a judgeship from personally soliciting campaign contributions of a financial nature. Attorney Lanell WilliamsYulee, a candidate running for election to a Florida judgeship, drafted and mailed a letter to voters. In the letter, she asked for donations to her campaign. The State Bar of Florida brought a disciplinary proceeding against Williams-Yulee because of the letter. The proceedings concluded with a finding that a public reprimand was in order because she had violated the Code of Judicial Conduct. The Bar rejected Williams-Yulee’s argument that the ban on personal solicitation violated her First Amendment rights. The Supreme Court of Florida also rejected that argument. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to decide the case. What kind of speech was Williams-Yulee engaging in through her letter soliciting contributions to her campaign? Did the Code of Judicial Conduct’s restriction on personal solicitation violate her First Amendment rights?
