*

Complaint disposition does not always reflect Commission action. Due to multiple complaints against the same judicial officer, a single disposition may dispose of several cases. In addition, due to diverse allegations or more than one judge within the same complaint, complaints may be disposed for more than one reason. In 2000, eight cases were disposed with the censure of one judicial officer and four cases were disposed with the recommended suspension of one judicial officer.

In the year 2000, the Commission was fully committed to several complex and time-consuming public cases. Although the cases were resolved, this commitment affected the number of dispositions reached.
