WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE DISPOSITIONS OF A REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION, AND HOW CAN A JUDGE BE REPRIMANDED OR SANCTIONED?

0

The Commission has several options. It may dismiss a grievance either with or without obtaining the judge’s comment, impose a written reprimand (explanation, caution, or admonition) after obtaining the judge’s comment, or authorize the filing of a formal complaint. Only the Michigan Supreme Court may impose sanctions, including censure, suspension with or without pay, or removal from office. The Supreme Court may also order a judge to pay costs, fees, and expenses incurred by the Commission in prosecuting a complaint, if the judge engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, or intentional misrepresentation, or if the judge made misleading statements in the course of the disciplinary proceeding.
