Findings

Worth a look Gifts · the statement

Lists $2,525 in gifts from Judicial Council of California in 2025; the limit from one source is $560

The statement lists 2 gift(s) from Judicial Council of California dated in 2025, totalling $2,525. Judges may not accept gifts from one source worth more than $560 a year (Code of Civil Procedure 170.9).

What to check
  • Whether part of it was returned, or paid back, in time to not count (the filer's comments often say).
  • Whether the gifts are from one source (a couple is two sources) or are of a kind the limit doesn't cover (family, wedding gifts and the like).
  • The FPPC's gift fact sheet and Regulation 18940.2 for the exceptions.
