What is the Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure?
The seven members of the Commision on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure review the conduct of all active and senior judges of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals and the District of Columbia Superior Court. The Commission has no authority over any other court or federal agency. The Commission has the power to: Discipline judges for misconduct. Involuntary retirement of judges for health reasons. Evaluate judges whose terms are about to end and who want to be reappointed. Decide whether retiring judges are qualified to serve as senior judges. The Commision receives complaints from the public about judicial misconduct and meets monthly to review these complaints.
