What kind of discipline can the Court impose on a judge?
If the Court finds “clear and convincing evidence” of misconduct, it can impose various types of discipline including: • Reprimand • Suspension for a specified time period, with or without pay • Permanent removal from office The harsher punishments may result in loss of retirement benefits as well. If a judge is found to be either mentally or physically disabled, the Court may order limitations on the judge’s activities or retirement from the bench.
