I.1. Lower Courts

For all courts below the Supreme Court, including the offices of Magistrate Judges, the following oath must be given:

“I, [full legal name], solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the National Charter and the laws of the United States. I understand that I have no personal right to this power—it comes from the People, through their elected President and Senate.

“I will support and defend this Charter because its purpose is to protect the Natural and Civil Rights of all Persons. I will apply the law fairly and equally to every Person. I will serve on the [name of court] with honesty, and without favoritism, bias, or corruption.

“I accept my unwaivable duty to recuse myself in any case where a conflict of interest exists or appears to exist. I agree to follow the Judicial Code of Ethics, which carries the weight of Constitutional Law.”
