Connecticut Rules of Professional Conduct (Connecticut Practice Book) 3.5: Impartiality and decorum of the tribunal

What does 3.5 require?

A lawyer must not try to sway a judge, a juror, a prospective juror or another official by any means the law forbids; must not speak with such a person ex parte during a proceeding without legal authority or a court order; must not approach a discharged juror where the law or a court order bars it, where the juror has signalled no wish to talk, or by misrepresentation, coercion, duress or harassment; and must not act so as to disrupt a tribunal or an ancillary proceeding such as a deposition or a mediation.
