Judicial Conduct Board
|
|
|
 |
|
Judges must follow high
ethical standards established by the Supreme Court in the Code of
Judicial Conduct. The Judicial Conduct Board investigates complaints
of judicial misconduct or disability and recommends any necessary
action to the Vermont Supreme Court. Possible disciplinary actions
include public reprimand of the judge, suspension for a part or the
remainder of the judge's term of office, or retirement of the judge
if physically or mentally disabled. The Court does not impeach
judges. Only the General Assembly has the power to impeach.
The Supreme Court appoints the nine members of
the board, and designates the chair and vice-chair. Three members
are lawyers, three members are lay citizens and three members are
judges.
