The judge misused her judicial office to advance the private interest of others and engaged in extra-judicial activities that cast reasonable doubt on her capacity to act impartially as a judge by (a) improperly meddling in the administrative affairs at a secondary school; (b) going to the school and directly intervening in student affairs and disciplinary matters when no case relating to same was pending in her court; and (c) improperly asserting jurisdiction in cases involving students who were charged with offenses greater than a class C misdemeanor.
