Anyone can file a complaint against a judge. Click on complaint form for the commission’s official complaint form. A letter will be treated as a complaint if it contains the information required on the official form. There is no charge for filing a complaint.

The complaint form is a fillable form that can be saved as a PDF and sent to the commission as an attachment to an email message, but is only fully compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). The form can also be printed, filled in by hand, and mailed to the commission at the address listed on the form.

A complaint consists of a statement of facts describing the judge’s alleged misconduct and listing the names of witnesses who can verify the facts. The complainant is not required to provide court files, but may attach copies of documents the complainant believes may help the commission understand the complaint.
