This past Thursday, the Judicial Conference of the United States implemented a new set of rules regarding the investigation of complaints filed against judges.
Chief Justice John Roberts, as chair of the 27-judge body, began discussions regarding the publication of judicial complaints after suggestions made by the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act Study Committee. These new rules serve as a way to make these complaints more open to the public, allowing the public to retrieve information regarding the specific complaint filed as well as the judge in question.
Having implemented these new rules, the hope is to make these complaints public record and allow for greater clarity in the judicial process.
