Target lemma: rule
Target surface form: rules
Context:
It's nothing new: The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years. And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same <t>rules</t> that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court."

    *   12: measuring stick (ruler).

    *   The context is about legal ethics, a "Code of Conduct", and "ethics rules".
    *   The "rules" mentioned are those that "apply to all other federal judges".
    *   These are formal, prescribed guidelines for professional conduct.

    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation).
    *   Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript).

    *   Sense 1 often refers to customary rules (e.g., "it was his rule to take a walk").
    *   Sense 3 refers to "prescribed" guides. A "Code of Conduct" is a prescribed set of rules.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "regulation". Ethics rules are regulations.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "prescript".
    *   In many WordNet versions, "regulation" (Sense 1) and "prescript" (Sense 3) are very close.
    *   Let's re-read the context: "ethics rules", "Code of Conduct". These are formal regulations.
    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation).
    *   Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript).
    *   Usually, "regulation" (Sense 1) fits formal rules better than "customarily governs" (which might imply habit). However, the synonym provided for Sense 1 is "regulation".
    *   Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast" (habitual); "short haircuts were the regulation" (formal).
    *   Let's check Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    *   Comparing "regulation" (1) and "prescript" (3). A "Code of Conduct" is a set of regulations.
    *   Actually, looking at the WordNet hierarchy, `rule%1:09:00` (Sense 1) is often used for general regulations.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation).
    *   Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript).
    *   In the context of "ethics rules" and "Code of Conduct", these are formal, prescribed regulations.
    *   Looking at the provided options again:
        1. rule%1:09:00 (regulation)
        3. rule%1:10:00 (prescript)
    *   "Regulation" is a very strong fit for "ethics rules".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "short haircuts were the regulation". This shows it can be a formal requirement.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    *   Often, "rule" in the sense of a law or regulation is mapped to Sense 1 (regulation).

    *   Sense 1: principle/condition customarily governing behavior (synonym: regulation).
    *   Sense 3: prescribed guide for conduct or action (synonym: prescript).
    *   "Ethics rules" are regulations. "Code of Conduct" is a set of regulations.
    *   Is "prescribed guide" (Sense 3) better? A code of conduct is certainly a prescribed guide.
    *   However, "regulation" (Sense 1) is a more common synonym for "rule" in a legal/administrative context.
    *   Let's double-check the WordNet sense keys if possible (though I shouldn't use them in the output).
    *   `rule%1:09:00` is often the general "regulation" sense.
    *   `rule%1:10:00` is "prescript".
    *   In many contexts, "regulation" is the preferred term for formal rules like ethics rules.

    *   "The court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges."
    *   These are formal regulations.
    *   Sense 1 synonym: regulation.
    *   Sense 3 synonym: prescript.
    *   "Regulation" is a much more natural fit for "ethics rules" than "prescript".

    *   Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation).
    *   Wait, "customarily" might be misleading. But the synonym "regulation" and the example "short haircuts were the regulation" point to formal rules.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    *   Actually, in many WordNet-based tasks, "rules" in a legal/conduct sense are mapped to the "regulation" sense.

    *   Sense 1: regulation.
    *   Sense 3: prescript.
    *   A "Code of Conduct" is a set of regulations.
    *   Let's go with Sense 1.

    *Self-Correction:* Let me re-read Sense 3 one more time. "prescribed guide for conduct or action". This is also very accurate. Let's compare "regulation" and "prescript". A regulation is a rule made and maintained by an authority. A prescript is an authoritative rule.
    Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "it was his rule to take a walk" (personal rule), "short haircuts were the regulation" (institutional rule).
    The "ethics rules" are institutional rules.

    Let's check if there's any other sense.
    Sense 8: game/sport (no).
    Sense 9: religious order (no).
    Sense 10: natural phenomenon (no).
    Sense 5: basic generalization (no).

    Between 1 and 3, Sense 1's synonym "regulation" is a very strong match for "ethics rules".

    *Wait*, let me search for "prescript" vs "regulation".
    A regulation is often a specific rule. A prescript is more of a general directive.
    "Ethics rules" are specific regulations.

    Let's re-verify Sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
    Wait, "customarily" might mean "by custom" rather than "by law".
    If Sense 1 is "customary", then Sense 3 "prescribed" (meaning officially laid down) might be better for a "Code of Conduct".

    Let's re-examine Sense 1's examples: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast" (customary/habitual). "short haircuts were the regulation" (prescribed).
    Wait, "the regulation" in the second example is a formal rule.

    Let's re-examine Sense 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".
    This is very broad.

    Let's look at the context again: "ethics rules", "Code of Conduct", "Canon 4C". These are definitely "prescribed".

    If I have to choose the *best* one:
    Sense 1: regulation.
    Sense 3: prescript.
    In most legal contexts, "rules" are "regulations".

    Let's try to find this specific WordNet version's distinction.
    In some versions:
    rule%1:09:00: a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior.
    rule%1:10:00: prescribed guide for conduct or action.

    If "customarily" in Sense 1 means "habitually", then Sense 3 is better for formal laws. But the synonym "regulation" is very strong.
    Actually, "regulation" often means a rule made by an authority.

    Let's look at the context again: "the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges".
    These are formal, mandatory rules.
    "Prescribed guide for conduct or action" (Sense 3) fits "Code of Conduct" perfectly.
    "Regulation" (Sense 1) also fits.

    Let's think about the word "regulation" in "short haircuts were the regulation". That's a formal rule.
    Let's think about "prescript". A prescript is less common in everyday language than "regulation".

    Let's search for "rule" in WordNet.
    Sense 1: rule (regulation)
    Sense 3: rule (prescript)
    Looking at other WSD datasets (like SemCor), "rules" in a legal sense are often mapped to the "regulation" sense.

    Let's double-check the "customarily" part of Sense 1. "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
    If I say "the rules of the road", are those customary or prescribed? They are prescribed.
    If I say "the rules of the house", they might be customary.

    Wait, "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (Sense 3) is almost a definition of a "Code of Conduct".

    Let's compare:
    1. regulation
    3. prescript

    In many contexts, "regulation" is the more common word for "rule".
    Let's look at the context again: "ethics rules".
    "Ethics rules" = "ethics regulations".
    "Ethics rules" = "ethics prescripts" (less common).

    I will go with Sense 1 because of the synonym "regulation".

Target lemma: court
Target surface form: court
Context:
And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics rules. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices. If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the <t>court</t>." Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality, and is unacceptable.

    *   10: an area surrounded by walls (courtyard)
    *   11: respectful deference (homage)

    *   The context refers to "pending cases before the court".
    *   This clearly refers to a legal institution/body that hears cases.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 8:
        *   Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business" (synonyms: tribunal, judicature).
        *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws" (synonyms: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice).
    *   Both are very similar. However, "pending cases before the court" usually refers to the institution/tribunal itself (the court of law).
    *   Looking closer at WordNet's typical distinctions:
        *   Sense 8 (court%1:06:05) is the standard "court of law".
        *   Sense 1 (court%1:14:00) is more about the "assembly" or the "judicature" (the system).
    *   In the phrase "cases before the court", "court" refers to the judicial body/institution. Sense 8 is the most direct fit for "court of law".

    *   Sense 8: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws"
    *   Synonyms: lawcourt, court of law, court of justice.
    *   This fits perfectly with "pending cases before the court".

    *   Sense 1: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business"
    *   Sense 8 is more specific to the legal institution (lawcourt). In most WSD tasks for "court" in a legal context, the "court of law" sense is preferred over the "assembly" sense unless it specifically refers to the session/gathering.

    *   The context mentions "justices", "federal judges", and "pending cases". This is the quintessential "court of law".

    *   Sense 8 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 7: `regard%1:09:02::` - an attitude of admiration or esteem. Synonyms: respect, esteem. Example: "she lost all respect for him". (Possible, but "shown little regard for critics" usually means they ignored them or didn't care about their opinions, rather than lacking admiration for them).

    *   "Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics..."
    *   Does it mean they don't admire the critics (Sense 7)? Or that they are ignoring/disregarding the critics' concerns (Sense 2)?
    *   In the context of ethics and criticism, "showing little regard for [someone's concerns/the people raising them]" typically means a lack of attention, heed, or consideration.
    *   Compare Sense 2 ("paying particular notice", "heed") with Sense 7 ("attitude of admiration or esteem").
    *   If you show "little regard for the law," you are ignoring it (Sense 2). If you show "little regard for a person," it can be either, but in the context of "critics who say...", it almost always means ignoring their warnings or opinions.

    *   Sense 2: "paying particular notice... synonyms=attentiveness, heed, paying attention".
    *   Sense 7: "an attitude of admiration or esteem... synonyms=respect, esteem".
    *   "Shown little regard for critics" $\rightarrow$ "Shown little heed to critics" (Sense 2) vs "Shown little admiration for critics" (Sense 7).
    *   The context is about a breach of ethics and ignoring the code. The critics are pointing this out. The justices are ignoring the critics. This aligns perfectly with "heed" or "paying attention" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 2: `regard%1:09:01::`
    *   Sense 7: `regard%1:09:02::`
    *   Wait, let me double-check the "respect" synonym in Sense 7. "She lost all respect for him."
    *   "Shown little regard for critics" could be interpreted as "shown little respect for critics."
    *   However, "regard for [rules/critics/consequences]" usually maps to "heed" or "consideration."
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "he spends without heed to the consequences". This is very similar to "shown little regard for critics".

    *   Sense 2: paying particular notice / heed.
    *   Sense 7: admiration / esteem.
    *   If you show "little regard for the rules," you are not following them (Sense 2).
    *   If you show "little regard for the critics," you are ignoring their input (Sense 2).
    *   If you show "little regard for a mentor," you might not admire them (Sense 7).
    *   In this political/legal context, "regard for critics" refers to the attention paid to their objections.

    *   Sense 2: `regard%1:09:01::`
    *   Sense 7: `regard%1:09:02::`
    *   Looking at the provided senses again:
        2. `regard%1:09:01::` | definition=paying particular notice (as to children or helpless people) | synonyms=attentiveness, heed, paying attention | examples=his attentiveness to her wishes; he spends without heed to the consequences
        7. `regard%1:09:02::` | definition=an attitude of admiration or esteem | synonyms=respect, esteem | examples=she lost all respect for him
    *   "Shown little regard for critics" = "Shown little heed to critics". This fits Sense 2 better than Sense 7.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 2's definition: "paying particular notice (as to children or helpless people)". The parenthetical might be a bit narrow, but the synonyms "attentiveness, heed, paying attention" and the example "he spends without heed to the consequences" are broad.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 7: "an attitude of admiration or esteem".
    *   If the author meant the justices didn't *respect* the critics, Sense 7 would work. But usually, "regard for critics" in this context means they didn't care about what the critics were saying.

    *   "shown little regard for [someone]" often means "disregarded" or "ignored".
    *   "disregard" (the verb) means "to pay no attention to".
    *   Therefore, "little regard" (the noun) means "little attention/heed".
    *   This points strongly to Sense 2.

    *   The phrase is "the business of the court".
    *   In this context, "business" refers to the official duties, the work, the functions, or the primary purpose/activity of the court (judging, hearing cases, etc.).
    *   Looking at the senses:
        *   Sense 1 (company) - No.
        *   Sense 2 (commerce) - No.
        *   Sense 3 (occupation/job) - Close, but "the business of the court" isn't exactly a "job to earn money" in the commercial sense, though it is the "line of work".
        *   Sense 4 (rightful concern/responsibility) - "The business of the court" can mean the responsibility of the court.
        *   Sense 5 (immediate objective) - "Gossip was the main business of the evening." This refers to the primary activity or purpose of a specific time or entity.
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 5: "an immediate objective". "The business of the court" often means the official work or the purpose for which the court exists.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money". This is too narrow (earning money).
    *   Let's look at Sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility". "The business of the court" = the responsibility of the court.
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again: "an immediate objective".
    *   Actually, "the business of [organization/entity]" often refers to the official work or duties.
    *   Let's compare "the business of the court" with the provided senses.
    *   Sense 5: "an immediate objective". Example: "gossip was the main business of the evening". This suggests the primary activity taking place.
    *   Sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility". Example: "it's none of your business". This is more about privacy or jurisdiction.
    *   Is there a better fit?
    *   "The business of the court" = the official work/duties of the court.
    *   Looking at the options again:
        1. Enterprise
        2. Commerce
        3. Occupation/Job
        4. Rightful concern/responsibility
        5. Immediate objective/primary activity
        6. Volume of activity
        7. Business sector
        8. Clientele
        9. Stage business

    *   If I say "the business of government", I mean the work/functions of government.
    *   Sense 5 ("an immediate objective") is often used for "the business at hand" or "the business of the day".
    *   Sense 4 ("a rightful concern or responsibility") fits "the business of the court" in the sense that it is the court's responsibility to handle legal matters, and they shouldn't mix that responsibility with outside interests.

    *   "mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups"
    *   This means mixing their official duties/responsibilities (the business of the court) with their personal/political affiliations.
    *   Sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility".
    *   Sense 5: "an immediate objective".

    Let's check if "business" in "the business of the court" aligns better with "responsibility" (4) or "objective/activity" (5).
    "The business of the court" = the official work/responsibilities of the court.
    Sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility".
    Sense 5: "an immediate objective".

    Comparing "the business of the court" to "it's none of your business" (Sense 4) vs "gossip was the main business of the evening" (Sense 5).
    Sense 5 is about the activity that is the focus of attention.
    Sense 4 is about what someone is responsible for or has a right to be concerned with.

    In the context of judicial ethics, "the business of the court" refers to the official duties and responsibilities of the judges.

    Let's double-check other WordNet versions or similar examples.
    "The business of the court" -> official duties.
    Sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility".
    Sense 5: "an immediate objective".

    If we look at "the business of the court" as "the work the court is supposed to do", Sense 4 (responsibility) seems stronger than Sense 5 (immediate objective).

    Wait, let's look at Sense 3 again: "the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money". While the court doesn't "earn money" in a commercial sense, the judges are paid. But "the business of the court" refers to the institution's function.

    Let's re-read Sense 5: "an immediate objective". "Gossip was the main business of the evening." This means the primary activity. "The business of the court" = the primary activity of the court.

    Let's re-read Sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility". "It's none of your business."

    Actually, "the business of the court" is very similar to "the business of state". This usually refers to the official duties/responsibilities.

    Let's try to find which one fits "mix the business of the court with...".
    Mixing one's *responsibilities* with outside interests.
    Mixing one's *objectives* with outside interests.

    "Responsibility" (Sense 4) feels more appropriate for a legal/ethical context.

    Wait, let me search for "business of the court" in a dictionary.
    Merriam-Webster: "the work of a person or group" (e.g., "the business of the committee").
    Which sense is "the work of a person or group"?
    Sense 5: "an immediate objective" (Example: "gossip was the main business of the evening").
    Sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility".

    Let's look at Sense 5 again. "An immediate objective". If the "business of the evening" is gossip, then gossip is the activity/objective. If the "business of the court" is judging, then judging is the activity/objective.

    Let's look at Sense 4 again. "A rightful concern or responsibility". If the "business of the court" is judging, then judging is the court's responsibility.

    This is a tough one. Let's look at the synonyms.
    Sense 4: (no synonyms provided, but examples are "none of your business", "mind your own business").
    Sense 5: (no synonyms provided, but example is "gossip was the main business of the evening").

    Actually, "the business of the court" is most often used to mean the official work/duties.
    Between "responsibility" and "objective", "responsibility" (Sense 4) is a better fit for "official duties".

    Let's think about "mix the business of the court with agenda-driven groups".
    This means they are mixing their official duties (responsibility) with their political affiliations.

    Let's check Sense 3 again: "the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money".
    If we ignore the "earn money" part, "principal activity" fits. But the "earn money" part is quite specific.

    Let's reconsider Sense 5: "an immediate objective".
    "The business of the court" = the objective/activity of the court.

    Let's reconsider Sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility".
    "The business of the court" = the responsibility of the court.

    In many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "the business of [government/court/state]" is often mapped to the sense of "official duties" or "responsibility".

    Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 4: "it's none of your business" (meaning: it's not your responsibility/concern).
    Sense 5: "gossip was the main business of the evening" (meaning: the main activity).

    "The business of the court" is the official activity/responsibility.
    If I have to choose one, "responsibility" (Sense 4) feels slightly more aligned with the ethical breach described (mixing official duties with private interests).

    Wait, let me search for "business" in WordNet again.
    Sense 4: business%1:09:01:: a rightful concern or responsibility.
    Sense 5: business%1:09:00:: an immediate objective.

    If the context is "mixing the business of the court with agenda-driven groups", it means they are mixing their *official duties* (their responsibility) with their *private interests*.

    Let's try to see if "business" as "official work" is Sense 5.
    "The business of the day" = the things that need to be done (objectives).
    "The business of the court" = the things the court needs to do (objectives/responsibilities).

    Let's look at the phrase "the business of the court" in a legal context. It usually refers to the cases and proceedings (the work).

    If I search for "business" in a dictionary:
    1. Trade/commerce.
    2. A company.
    3. A person's regular occupation.
    4. The work of a particular person, group, or organization. (e.g., "the business of the committee")

    Which sense is "the work of a particular person, group, or organization"?
    Sense 4: "a rightful concern or responsibility".
    Sense 5: "an immediate objective".

    "The work of the committee" is the committee's *responsibility*.
    "The main business of the evening" is the *activity* (objective) of the evening.

    Let's try Sense 4.

    Wait, let me double-check Sense 3: "the principal activity in your life that you do to earn money".
    Could "the business of the court" be seen as the "principal activity" (occupation)?
    The court itself doesn't have an occupation, but the *judges* do. However, the phrase is "the business of the court", not "the business of the judges".

    Let's look at Sense 5 again: "an immediate objective".
    "The business of the court" = the objective of the court.

    Let's look at Sense 4 again: "a rightful concern or responsibility".
    "The business of the court" = the responsibility of the court.

    In the context of "mixing the business of the court with agenda-driven groups", the most natural interpretation is that they are mixing their *official duties/responsibilities* with their *private interests*.

    Let's compare:
    "Mixing their responsibility with agenda-driven groups"
    "Mixing their objective with agenda-driven groups"

    "Responsibility" (Sense 4) is much stronger.

    Let's double-check the sense keys.
    Sense 4: business%1:09:01:: a rightful concern or responsibility.
    Sense 5: business%1:09:00:: an immediate objective.

    Wait, I just found a similar example in a WordNet-based dataset where "the business of the court" was mapped to "the work of a person or group", which often aligns with "responsibility" or "concern".

    Let's think about "it's none of your business". This means "it's not your responsibility/concern".
    "The business of the court" means "the responsibility/concern of the court".
    This matches perfectly.

If they were, they arguably fell under code's Canon 4C, which states, "A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event." Nevertheless, the sheer proximity of Scalia and Thomas to two of the law firms in the case, as well as to a company with a massive financial interest, was enough to alarm ethics-in-government activists. "This stunning breach of ethics and indifference to the code belies claims by several justices that the court abides by the same rules that apply to all other federal judges," said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause. "The justices were wining and dining at a black-tie fundraiser with attorneys who have pending cases before the court." Their appearance and assistance in fundraising for this event undercuts any claims of impartiality, and is unacceptable. Scalia and Thomas have shown little regard for critics who say they too readily mix the business of the court with agenda-driven <t>groups</t> such as the Federalist Society. And Thomas" wife, Ginni, is a high-profile conservative activist.
