Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission

The Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission is an independent agency responsible for overseeing the conduct of judges in Alabama. It investigates complaints or allegations of misconduct, ethically questionable behavior, or violations of judicial standards. If misconduct is found, the commission can recommend disciplinary actions, including removal from office. Its role is to ensure that judges maintain integrity, impartiality, and professionalism, safeguarding public confidence in the judiciary. The commission operates separately from the courts to maintain objectivity and uphold the ethical standards expected of judicial officers.
