Private Sanctions

Private Sanctions are issued when sufficient evidence supports a finding of judicial misconduct. As it deems appropriate, the Commission uses, by order of severity, admonitions, warnings and reprimands to privately sanction judges. If the Commission votes to issue a private sanction, the appropriate order is prepared, and the offending judge is served with the order, and the Complainant is notified of the Commission's action. However, because the Commission is controlled by constitutional and statutory provisions that prohibit the release of information regarding investigation and resolution of a case, no other information regarding the case will be released to the public. Orders of additional education may also be combined with private sanctions.

You may view Private Sanctions by the fiscal year in which they were issued (see menu) or consolidated into a single PDF:
