It looks like former Judges who decide to practice law after leaving the bench will be precluded from using this title in private practice. Evidently, the ethics committee has determined that it is misleading and may suggest that this person can somehow impart "judgment" on particular legal matters.
Very interesting, because many retired Judges have been called this for so long, it may be very hard to break the habit. Former judges will still be able to tell existing and prospective clients of their prior experience as a Judge, but will not be able to use the title "Former Judge" or "Retired Judge" as a title in his or her name.
