The Judicial Inquiry Board

The Judicial Inquiry Board is a state-level agency responsible for investigating allegations of misconduct or ethical violations by judges. Its role is to ensure the integrity and accountability of the judiciary by examining complaints, gathering evidence, and determining whether a judge has acted improperly. If misconduct is found, the board can recommend disciplinary actions or sanctions. The process promotes public confidence in the judicial system while safeguarding judicial independence. Essentially, it functions as an independent watchdog to uphold ethical standards among judges and ensure fair and impartial justice.
