Judicial Conduct & Disability
Congress has created a procedure, set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 372(c), that allows any person to file a complaint alleging judicial misconduct or disability. Misconduct refers to conduct that interferes with the effective administration of the business of the courts, not the correctness of a particular ruling. If you believe a judge made a wrong decision, even a very wrong decision, you may not use this procedure. Instead, if you are a litigant, you must use the appeal process. An attorney can explain your right to appeal.
Links to the complaint form and the rules governing judicial misconduct or disability are given below. A complaint must be supported by evidence sufficient to raise an inference of misconduct or disability.
