Summary: Pursuant to stipulation, the Commission admonished a former part-time judge who had conducted a hearing in a case in which he had advised the defendant over the telephone regarding the implied consent law and, in a second case, represented a defendant who had been arrested pursuant to a bench warrant he had signed as a judge. The Commission noted that the former judge had resigned for reasons unrelated to the matter and had been admonished in 1992 for failing to promptly dispose of the business of the court.
