The Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct dismissed 95.9 percent of the complaints brought before it in 1980 because they were not suitable for review.
Abstract
The report discusses the commission's role, the complaint process, sources of complaints, nature of commission matters, and status of the commission's docket. Its budget, staff, location, operating rules, and meetings are noted. Recommendations pertain to support for a bill which would revise the types of judicial behavior the commission would be authorized to review. One chart is included.
