More than three years after a joint commission of the American Bar Association began a review of its Model Code of Judicial Conduct, revisions to the code were adopted this month to include language specific to the LGBT community, most notably including the term "transgender."

The ABA's code is used in most smaller states to set standards for courts, and serves as a guide for others. The vote came at the ABA's mid-year meeting in Miami on February 12.
