Judicial Disciplinary Proceedings

Judicial disciplinary proceedings are formal processes used to review and address misconduct by judges. When a judge is alleged to have acted improperly—such as violating ethical standards or engaging in misconduct—an investigation is initiated. If misconduct is found, disciplinary actions may be taken, including warnings, suspension, or removal from the bench. These proceedings ensure accountability, maintain public trust, and uphold the integrity of the judiciary. They are conducted by a designated disciplinary authority, following established legal procedures, and often involve hearings where both sides can present their case.
