The manifestation of bias or prejudice or the engagement in harassment in the performance of court duties impairs the fairness and impartially of court proceedings, brings the judicial system into disrepute, and is unacceptable in the courts of the State of Missouri.
All court employees shall perform court duties without manifesting bias or prejudice or engaging in harassment. Court employees shall not, in the performance of court duties, by words or conduct, manifest bias or prejudice, or engage in harassment, including but not limited to bias, prejudice, or harassment based upon race, sex, gender, gender identity, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, or marital status.
