State Judicial Ethics Committees

State Judicial Ethics Committees are groups established in each state to oversee the ethical conduct of judges and judicial officials. Their main roles include providing guidance on ethical issues, investigating complaints against judges, and ensuring adherence to ethical standards. They help maintain public confidence in the judiciary by promoting integrity, fairness, and impartiality in the legal system. Each committee typically issues opinions and recommendations, assisting judges in navigating complex ethical dilemmas while also serving as a resource for education on judicial ethics.
