judicial ethics committees

Judicial ethics committees are groups that oversee the conduct of judges to ensure they adhere to professional standards and ethical principles. They review complaints about judges’ behavior, provide guidance on ethical issues, and recommend disciplinary actions if necessary. Their role helps maintain public trust in the justice system by ensuring judges act with integrity, impartiality, and professionalism. Think of them as regulatory bodies focused specifically on the moral and ethical performance of judges to uphold the fairness and credibility of courts.
