WHOSE Code of Ethics? If the city court judge is also a practicing attorney and does not sit on the District Court Bench then he should legally be able to defend his client. There does not seem to be a conflict of interest, and if there was I'm sure the State's Attorney (the prosecutor) would be quick to point it out.
